  Several new and exciting opportunities for Project/Programme Leads have arisen within our Defence business in Bristol. The roles range from our Future Programmes and Early Life Cycle teams to our Mature programme teams. The Project Lead role is the ideal opportunity for an individual looking to kick start or progress their Project Management capability within an environment that operates under the APM Model.

  Why Rolls-Royce?

  Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

  We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

  We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

  The Project Lead role sits within the Project Management function and the role aims at taking responsibility for the delivery of small projects or workstreams within a larger project.

  We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

  As a Project Lead you could be supporting the Programme Manager with the co-ordination of Engineering projects, working closely with Engineering and other key business stakeholders to support the delivery of key programme milestones thus enabling the delivery of our Defence strategy. Other responsibilities can include being responsible for project planning, risk management, managing budgets related to your programmes of work and leading integrated teams to deliver the projects you are responsible for.

  What we offer

  We offer excellent development opportunities, 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, on average three days per week.

  What you will be doing

  With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

  • Be accountable for the successful delivery to cost, specification and time for a defined package of work by implementing project management best practice in line with company management processes
  • Act as the focal point for all aspects related to the packages of work and provide information necessary to make management decisions to the key stakeholders
  • Establish, develop and maintain the documentation necessary to deliver the package of work
  • Develop your project management skills through the creation and management of an integrated set of plans/schedules through to the operation of the project management systems, tools, and methods.

  Who we’re looking for:

  At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

  To be successful in this role you will need to:

  • Have excellent interpersonal and leadership skills and have the ability to easily build rapport within all levels of the organisation since networking across business groups and developing key relationships is critical to this role
  • Demonstrate a passion and desire to grow within project management in the Defence industry, with project management experience/qualifications desirable but not essential
  • Demonstrate initiative and self-motivation.
  • Indicate a good level of knowledge and experience of Microsoft Office tools.

  We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
