Rolls-Royce Nuclear Business Management Degree Apprenticeship - Raynesway, UK

Nuclear Business Management Degree Apprenticeship
Starting salary: £20,735 per year
Location: Derby Raynesway
Duration: 4 years

For over 60 years we've provided the power for the UK Royal Navy's nuclear submarine fleet. Our Nuclear Business Management Degree Apprenticeship will give you the skills and knowledge to manage the projects, plans, components, contracts, and supplier relationships that are vital to the successful delivery of this work.

Rolls-Royce designs, builds and services the world's most vital technologies, providing critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We've been a force for progress for over 100 years. And it's what's fuelling our next chapter as we power, protect, and connect people everywhere. That's our vision for you, too. Join us and we'll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive culture that invests in you and gives you access to opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

The programme

You'll spend four years with our expert teams working on real projects that support submarines in the Royal Navy. In the process, you'll get to experience the full breadth of our Submarines business, taking on a variety of placements across different areas, which could include finance, commercial, project management, procurement and planning.

Alongside developing practical knowledge you'll also study for a BA in Business Management with the University of Derby at our Nuclear Skills Academy. Together, these experiences will equip you for a business career that offers a huge range of possibilities.

What will I do?

We're leading a revolution in nuclear power that is already seeing us develop this technology for many other uses - from unmanned underwater vehicles, to microreactors and synthetic fuel. It's an amazing time to join us.

As an apprentice, you'll be at the heart of it. Working with colleagues, suppliers and customers to ensure we deliver to the highest standards and, in doing so, helping to keep the UK safe.

What you'll need

• Five GCSEs at grade 4/C which must include Maths and English Language.
• 96 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:
  • Three A-levels at grade CCC including a numerical or business-related subject and excluding General studies.
  • A Level 3 Extended BTEC Diploma at DDM in a numerical or business-related subject.

If you have any other equivalent qualifications, please contact us.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. We're looking for people who are keen to learn about what makes a business operate successfully.

Beyond that, you'll need to be a logical and analytical thinker who can solve problems with a common-sense approach and work well in a team.

Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We'll expect that of you, too.

To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

What you'll get

• A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
• Fully sponsored BA (Hons) in Business Management from the University of Derby
• 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays)
• Competitive pension
• A choice of voluntary benefits including discounts at nationwide stores, gyms, discounted health care, free digital GP, Cycle to Work scheme and more all available on our TotalReward portal
• Continuous learning and development
• Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
• Opportunities to develop beyond your day-to-day role and get involved in social activities
• An independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service
