Take your skills to the next level

We need world-class teams to retain our world-class reputation. That’s why training and development is vital.

At Rolls-Royce, we encourage our people to try different roles on for size throughout their career. It helps you gain a wealth of first-hand experience and fosters understanding – and we’ll also pay a professional institute membership.

Our Defence function has an established and robust Professional Development Framework. There are three broad routes you can take towards progression:

  • Technical Project Managers

  • Technical Function (People) Managers

  • Technical Specialist route

As you move through this structure, we can provide you with a flexible range of opportunities, whether you decide to specialise in one of these types of roles or develop your capabilities across a broad range of skills. We encourage all our people to try out different role types early in their career to gain a breadth of experience, and we’ll also pay for up to one professional institute membership.
