Starting Salary: £22,990 per year

Location: Bristol

Duration: 4 years

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

By joining Rolls-Royce in an Emerging Talent programme, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.

Position summary:

We serve our customers across our business, keeping thousands of Rolls-Royces powered aircraft taking off at hundreds of locations, in almost every country of the world.

As an Enterprise Business Management Degree Apprentice, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to help make that happen – managing essential projects, plans, components, contracts, and supplier relationships whilst working cross functionally and partnering with customers.

What you’ll be doing:

This four-year apprenticeship offers broad business development across our Civil or Defence business giving hands on responsibility from day one. You’ll work on real projects ranging from building business cases, shaping commercial proposals, analysing markets to supporting regional strategy. You’ll gain experience in procurement by contributing to purchasing decisions, cost saving initiatives and future buying strategies whilst also collaborating with global cross-functional teams on fleet planning, financial modelling, digital capability development and end to end engine lifecycle management.

Across all of this, you’ll gain a detailed insight into how a large, complex company makes a profit and works with its customers, suppliers and partners. You will also study for a BA (hons) in Business Management with a local university to enable you to make a meaningful early impact and build a deep understanding of how the global aerospace business operates.

Who we’re looking for:

• Five GCSEs at a minimum of grade 4/C which must include Maths and English Language.
• 96 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:
• 3 A-Levels to include as a minimum, an A-level in a numerical or business related subject at grade C
• A single Level 3 BTEC in a business-related discipline
• If you have equivalent qualifications, contact us.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. We’re looking for fast learners who are motivated to develop a career in project management.

Beyond that, you’ll have great communication and team working skills as well as leadership potential. Attention to detail and organisational skills are also important.

Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We’ll expect that of you, too.

What you’ll get:

• A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
• 33 days’ holiday per year (including bank holidays)
• Fully sponsored BA (Hons) in Business Management
• Competitive pension
• Continuous learning and development
• Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
• Opportunities to develop beyond your day-to-day role and get involved in social activities
• A choice of voluntary benefits including discounts at nationwide stores, gyms, discounted health care, free digital GP, Cycle to Work scheme and more all available on our TotalReward portal
• An independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service

Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation programme aims to turn Rolls-Royce into a high-performing, competitive, resilient and growing company. Join us, and it can be your future vision too.

Rolls-Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non-discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.
