This is an opportunity to build invaluable engineering skills working alongside our experts as well as studying towards a degree. You’ll gain the kind of all-round experience that will enable you to choose where your interests best lie so you can specialise when the programme comes to an end. It makes this a brilliant platform from which to launch a truly fulfilling career as a Rolls-Royce Engineer.

The programme

Join our Engineering Degree Apprenticeship Programme and, while you're working towards a bachelor’s degree-level education, you'll also be getting invaluable experience. By the time you finish the programme, you'll have achieved your degree, and be ready on a practical level to start taking your development way beyond that.

What you’ll do

All the way through your degree apprenticeship, you'll be working alongside exceptional engineering professionals. You'll gain a firm foundation in engineering principles, before going on to placements in different areas of the company. These generally last four months each, which allows you to develop a real understanding of what working in that area means.

We recruit Engineering Degree Apprentices into Civil Aerospace and Defence. If we hire you into one of these areas, you'll enjoy on and off the job training, a competitive salary and opportunities to progress within our Engineering function. Once you’ve completed your apprenticeship, you’ll have a good idea of where you want to focus. For example, you could be a Design Engineer, Stress Engineer, Development Engineer, a Service Engineer or a Lifecycle Engineer.

What you’ll need

Three A-levels (or equivalent) at grade C or above in Maths and Physics, Chemistry or Engineering, plus one other subject (obtained or predicted). Alternatively, an engineering-focused Level 3 extended BTEC at DDM minimum. You’ll Also need GCSEs (or equivalent) at minimum Grade C/4 in English Language and Grade B/5 in Maths. Beyond your academic qualifications, we'll be looking for evidence that you're creative, an agile thinker and genuinely enthusiastic about developing a career in engineering. For example, we'd like to hear about an engineering project you've done at school or work, or a club you've been involved with or in your spare time. You'll be analytical, methodical and an innovative problem solver, as well as articulate, driven and a fast learner.

What you’ll get

• A competitive salary
• A competitive pension, and 33 days’ holiday per year (inclusive of bank holidays)
• Career support from day one
• A debt-free bachelor’s degree and nationally-recognised qualifications
