Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.
An opportunity exists for a Welding Engineer within New Build and Components DBU. The successful applicant will be working on new technology development programmes specific to welding applications for product to be installed on Nuclear Steam Raising Plants.
We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
Your needs are as unique as you are. We encourage flexible working arrangements and support hybrid working wherever possible, so you can always be at your best - wherever and whenever you work.
What you will be doing:
Rolls-Royce Submarines has initiated a bold strategy for future technology for welding capability. This is to provide improved operational efficiency, process robustness and resilience to understood business challenges, we’re seeking to establish a welding future capability team to evolve our existing welding and volumetric inspection processes into a ‘green button’ application platform with ‘Right first time’ being assured.
From origin, you’ll be a key facet of a dedicated team targeted towards achieving an ambitious automated and digital programme of work.
Key highlights of this opportunity are as follows:
- Develop and deploy ‘state of the art’ welding processes
- From first principles, apply digital technologies to ensure a 100% RFT
- Opportunity to interact with Intelligent stakeholder within the wider project organisation
- Direct responsibility for manufacturing capability readiness for new technologies
- Work with both arc and power beam manufacturing applications
- The opportunity to showcase your talents and abilities at the very highest level
- Creation of welding procedures, qualifications, and other cell specific documentation such as PFMEA’s and Control Plans for any new technologies to be implemented
- An opportunity to work closely with other Special Processes engineering disciplines and potentially gain invaluable experience within NDE, Chemical Processing and PWHT
- Opportunity to work with our major technology partners developing new welding capabilities.
Who we’re looking for:

- Define and analyse SPC data to ensure full manufacturing process control
- Identify equipment upgrades / new equipment requirements and manage their validation
- Responsible for defining process methods
- Create / update process documentation & operating procedures
- Ensure processes can meet the requirements for quality, cost, delivery and lead time
- Work with neighbouring special processes such as NDE and chemical processes to assure product integrity.
- Be a change agent for digitising manufacturing joining platforms
- Understanding of design, materials and stress implications for vessel joining
Desirable skills:
- An experience formulating Nuclear standard weld qualifications and the ability to cross reference Internal and International codes to achieve design intent
- Clearly demonstrate a professional history of developing welding manufacturing processes within a Primary Nuclear environment.
- Comprehensive understanding of all welding processes inclusive of Power Beam and solid solution joining
We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.
