Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Rolls‑Royce SMR provides a British solution to a global energy challenge, leading the way in Small Modular Reactor technology and shaping the UK’s premier green export opportunity.
About the Role
Our Mobilisation function plays a critical role in preparing and integrating our strategic suppliers to support delivery of our first‑of‑a‑kind (FOAK) SMR and future fleet deployment. Mobilisation ensures that each supplier is aligned, capable, resourced and operationally ready to deliver safely, efficiently and predictably across the full lifecycle of the programme. To support this, we’re looking for a Mobilisation Manager to coordinate and deliver mobilisation activity for one or more of our major supply partners. You’ll help shape supplier readiness, support the implementation of operating models, and drive cross‑functional engagement to ensure both RR SMR and our suppliers are set up for success.
Reporting to the Senior Mobilisation Manager, you'll support strategic planning, supplier activation and organisational readiness as we scale one of the most advanced engineering programmes in the UK.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the development and delivery of mobilisation strategies for key suppliers covering readiness planning, capability assessment, resource alignment and operational preparation.
- Build productive relationships with strategic suppliers, supporting performance, readiness, integration and early-phase delivery alignment.
- Project-manage mobilisation plans, including milestones, risks, dependencies, KPIs and progress reporting.
- Work closely with other functions (e.g. engineering) to ensure technical, commercial and operational requirements are fully integrated including cross-functional readiness reviews, risk management and stakeholder communications.
- Support tendering, evaluation, contract development, supplier performance frameworks, incentives and delivery models.
- Apply data, insights and structured methodologies to inform decision making, track readiness and identify opportunities for improvement.
