JRT Manager (Joint Reactor Team) - Submarines

Job Description

JRT Manager (Joint Reactor Team)  - Submarines

Full Time  

Devonport 

An exciting, new, permanent leadership role as a Joint Reactor Team (JRT) Manager has arisen at HM Naval Base, Plymouth to lead a collaborative team working side by side with our Industrial Partner, Babcock as well as the MOD and Royal Navy.

With support from Babcock, Royal Navy and R-R representatives in your team, you will develop the capability of JRT as a relatively new collaborative initiative to quickly build arrangements and relationships to drive efficiencies into the effective delivery of maintenance on the naval reactor plant of the Royal Navy’s current class submarines in the dockyard.  You will work closely with existing R-R arrangements such as the REO and the other managers within the Devonport JRT and reach out into various aspects of the wider Babcock, MoD and Rolls-Royce organisations, to develop opportunities and grow new capabilities where identified.  

Together with strong leadership and communication skills, this role will require significant engineering experience and knowledge in the planning and execution of submarine maintenance periods, particularly with respect to that relevant to the reactor plant.  The JRT manager will report internally to the R-R Devonport Site Exec, but also be expected to engage with the Babcock SSN Programme Director.

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.  

With the right background and experience to date, this role would definitely bring opportunity in developing collaborative industrial partner relationships whilst also gaining insight and traction from within the wider Roll-Royce Submarines business in order to achieve overall success.

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

The new role brings much opportunity to really make a difference in the delivery of the Royal Navy’ s submarine fleet whilst also presenting a means of accelerating your skill set and career in a growing RRSL business.  

What we offer 

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts. 

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week. 

What you will be doing 

You’ll be:

• Leading RRSL support working closely and collaboratively with both Babcock, MoD and other partners within the Submarine Enterprise in the optimised delivery of maintenance on the Naval Steam Reactor Plant (NSRP) in the Dockyard at Devonport.
• Identifying, demanding and drawing upon novel and innovate means by which to deliver maintenance on the NSRP and possibly elsewhere on the submarine platform.
• Building new or refine arrangements in and around the conduct of maintenance. 
• Reporting to the RRSL Services Devonport Site Executive

Who we’re looking for: 

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles. 

• Innate engineering acumen combined with depth in knowledge and experience of the conduct of maintenance on the NSRP and all associated supporting arrangements.
• Proven leadership and management skills able to communicate well at all levels, showing resourcefulness in building and fostering good collaborative relationships.
• Initiative and resourcefulness in developing industrial partnering arrangements.
• Programme Management skills and experience at major project and senior management level

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
