Switch into Aerospace Engineering is our 4 - 4.5 year career development programme.
No matter what qualifications you have, or where you’re working now, Switch helps you learn, build skills, and secure an exciting role as an Aerospace Fitter or Machinist in either Derby or Bristol.
Our dedicated programme gives you the support and training to discover what we know you’re capable of.
If you like the idea of a job that gives you fantastic colleagues, great long-term progression, and the opportunity to play a part in our world-class engineering and technology capability – this is how our Switch into Aerospace Engineering programme will get you there.
For the first few weeks, you’ll get to know Rolls-Royce and the people who’ll be with you throughout your programme. This includes a mentor and your fellow ‘Switchers’. From there, you’ll split your time each week as follows:
You’ll be aligned to an Aerospace Fitter or Machinist apprentice role. You’ll spend more time at your training provider where you’ll continue to develop both your academic knowledge and practical skills.
This will be combined with spending time on site at a Rolls-Royce facility, developing your workplace skills and working on parts that go into our world-class aircraft engines. You’ll get half a day each week to meet with your mentor, discuss your progress, work on personal skills and get any extra support you need to succeed.
You’ll work four days a week on site in your role, learning on the job. One day a week will be spent at your training provider, studying the academic qualifications required for your Level 3 apprenticeship.
Applications are now open. Apply below for ‘Derby’ or ‘Bristol (Defence)’.
