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.
Our Mobilisation Team
Our Mobilisation team plays an invaluable role preparing our strategic suppliers to support the successful delivery of our first-of-a-kind SMR and future global fleet. We work at the interface of Programme, Operations, Supply Chain, Commercial, and Engineering to ensure each major supplier is resourced, aligned, and operationally ready to deliver safely, efficiently, and predictably across the full lifecycle.
Senior Mobilisation Manager Role
As we ramp up activities to prepare for our ground-breaking contract wins across Europe, we’re looking for a Senior Mobilisation Manager to lead the mobilisation of one or more of our strategic supply partners and shape supplier relationships, define and implement operating models, lead readiness planning through FOAK and into global scaling, and build our capability to ensure we work effectively with major delivery partners.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead the team across RRSMR - instilling a project-management mentality at all levels - to lead the mobilisation of the supplier delivery model
- Develop and manage mobilisation project plans for the next 12–24 months, setting scope, milestones, objectives, and forward pathways
- Champion best practice methodologies, continuous improvement, and innovation across mobilisation activity.
- Ensure we are ready to work with suppliers — including budgets, resourcing, governance, and cultural alignment - whilst shaping commercial considerations such as incentives, risk-share, gain/pain share, and performance frameworks
- Drive proactive engagement across programme, operations, commercial, and supply chain teams to deliver integrated mobilisation outcomes, operational readiness, and scalable delivery processes.
