Why Rolls-Royce?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Chartered or Incorporated Civil/Structural Engineer to join the Infrastructure Design Authority (IDA).  At Raynesway in Derby and supporting satellite sites, we are undertaking a significant redevelopment and expansion to provide new buildings and infrastructure in support of propulsion systems for submarines in the Royal Navy and Australia.  In this role you will provide technical oversight from concept to detailed design as well as supporting and maintaining our legacy buildings and infrastructure across the submarines estate.

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career

The Civil Structural Engineer role will support small and intermediate works as well as major projects on buildings and supporting infrastructure.  As we look to develop our site you will ensure the design is meeting the technical scope and standards of design by supporting meetings, reviewing design submissions and Riba Stage reviews.  As part of the wider IDA team you will oversee the delivery and sentencing of building surveys and provide verification and validation of design and build.  No day is the same and every day has new challenges but you will be supported by our growing team.

We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, at least three days per week on site.

What you will be doing:

• Developing and assuring Facility Design Authority standards, processes and procedures are applied to enable safe and successful delivery of new build and modified facilities and infrastructure.
• In conjunction with other stakeholders provide appropriate technical oversight of Infrastructure design, construction and commissioning activities for facilities / infrastructure projects commissioned by the Submarines Business. Where applicable this includes ensuring designs are designed cognisant of the ONR's Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs).
• To act as the Civil/Structural Engineering Intelligent Customer for all matters relating to nuclear and conventional facilities, structures and associated Infrastructure within the Submarines business.
• To provide design, modification and build assurance of the Civil/Structural Infrastructure to the Submarines Business and appropriate Rolls-Royce Design Authorities.
• To assure appropriate maintenance/testing/inspection of the Civil/Structural Infrastructure at Raynesway as part of a team.

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• Experienced Chartered or Incorporated Civil/Structural Engineer with broad experience in design and/or verification.
• Flexibility to work in wide variety of roles, from small to medium works and maintenance to complex new build design and construction.
• Ability to appraise calculations, drawings and proposals from concept to construction relative to the latest Euro Codes, British Standards, Codes of Practice, Guidance Documents. 
• Strong meeting and communication skills to ensure the technical requirements are met whilst ensuring appropriate solutions are derived and difficulties overcome through the design and construction process.
• A desire to build new skills or develop them further in the Nuclear/safety critical environment would be an advantage.
