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.

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.

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:
Hold a degree-level qualification or have equivalent experience in a relevant field such as IT, Business, Engineering, or Project Management.
Have at least one year of experience supporting IT or digital projects in a project controls, PMO, or delivery capacity.
