Job Description

Operations Team Member

Starting salary: £29,169 pa during training

Location: Rotherham

It’s time to think about something different. How you can use the skills you already have to take you in a totally different direction and give you a rewarding career you can be proud of. How exciting it would be to make something world-class, what it would be like to work with advanced technology. You’ve probably never thought Rolls-Royce was for you – it’s time to change that thinking.

Become an Operations Team Member

At our Advanced Blade Casting Facility (ABCF), we make critical turbine blades that go into our world-leading jet engines. It means we’re at the cutting-edge of casting and automated technology. So, forget what you think you know about ‘factory’ environments – this is a high-tech, modern space you’ll enjoy being in every day.

We use a casting process and you’ll be fully trained to do many of the tasks that this involves. Following technical instructions – much like a recipe or a manual for setting up a new TV – you’ll craft patterns in wax ready for casting, operate high-tech robotic machinery, measure and check blades for defects, and gather data using digital apps. There’s a lot of attention to detail involved, but there’s also plenty of variety in what you do each day and a great sense of achievement at the end of it.

Maybe you already do a job that’s all about following processes, like being a cook or a beauty technician. Or maybe you’re into arts, crafts, DIY, or making things like models in your own time that takes an eye for detail. Or you’re someone who is used to using apps and tech. All these skills are really valuable to us.

So, it doesn’t matter what qualifications you have – everything else, we’re here to show you.

You’ll get our full support and expert training to become a capable and confident Operations Team Member. And along with excellent rewards and benefits, there is the opportunity to progress to a basic salary of £36,929 + £5,400 shift allowance per year.

If you like the idea of a job that gives you fantastic colleagues, great rewards, and the opportunity to play a part in our world-leading work – it’s time to apply.
