Rolls Royce SMR
Rolls Royce SMR is on a mission to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. As the leading Small Modular Reactor programme in Europe, we’re building a British solution to a global energy challenge and shaping one of the country’s most significant green export opportunities.
Role Overview
Now that we have reached this pivotal point in our growth and development, we need to hire a Plant Delivery Mobilisation Manager to coordinate and deliver mobilization and readiness activities for a defined sub-area within the Plant Delivery Organisation. Specifically, this will involve:
- Establishing and delivering mobilization processes and readiness activities for your area
- Ensuring that governance requirements and delivery methodologies are effectively implemented, embedded, followed, and improved
- Creating and owning detailed delivery plans, actions, risks, and readiness metrics
- Coordinating activities across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and operations teams
- Proactively identifying, tracking, and managing risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies
Requirements
We seek a thorough, proactive, and resilient professional who has had exposure in regulated or safety-critical environments (as you would expect, nuclear "know-how" will be of great interest to us, whilst those from defence, aerospace, and energy sectors may all have transferable capability). We will need your application to showcase your experience and knowledge in the following areas:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Mobilization, industrialisation, operations, programme delivery, operational readiness, and/or new product introduction activities, ideally in a complex engineering environment
- The coordination of complex work activities, schedules, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder actions and meeting delivery objectives
- The application of established business processes, governance frameworks, and delivery methodologies whilst driving continuous improvement initiatives
The above is but a summary; a full role profile is available from Alex Jordan (I am easy to find on LinkedIn) and the closing date for applications is 27-September-2026.
