Engineering and Technology Year-Long Internship

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.  

Our Internship programmes are designed to help you build your career from day one. You'll work on meaningful projects, learn from experienced colleagues and develop the skills to make a real impact. That's Infinite Potential. 

Role overview:  

During your 12-months on our Engineering and Technology Internship programme, you’ll gain invaluable insight into the breadth of our work and discover where you’d like to take your career with us.

You’ll join our Engineering, Technology and Safety organisation, which supports all our different divisions. You’ll complete rotational ‘gigs’, gathering experience across the engineering lifecycle and building capabilities such as mechanical systems, manufacturing, software and digital, electrical, materials and development. These gigs could be within our central Engineering, Technology and Safety teams or within our Civil Aerospace, Defence, Defence Nuclear Submarines or Power Systems divisions. We want to give you a breadth of experience across Rolls-Royce to build your network. You could be asked to support on any of your rotational gigs in our Civil, Power or Defence functions, depending on business needs. 

What you’ll be doing:

• Working on exciting and varied projects – from exploring Nuclear options for powering the UK’s fleet of Naval Submarines, to helping develop next-generation demonstrator engines such as the UltraFan or for the Global Combat Air Programme
• Using data, technology and AI to improve environmental performance at power stations, test marine automation software or strengthen cyber-security
• You’ll develop through a mix of digital learning, on-the-job training and opportunities that bring your ideas to life in meaningful ways
• Accessing opportunities for continuous learning

Who we’re looking for:

• A degree in any STEM subject, or joint honours degrees that combine STEM with subjects like business or economics
• A strong passion for the future of technology
• A willingness to work flexibly and travel between locations: in most cases, you will be able to achieve the scheme requirements in the location you are recruited to, however, we may need you to be flexible and travel between sites during or for your rotational ‘gigs’
• Being open-minded, curious and agile in your approach to work and career development

We see hybrid working as a way to balance and flex our time between the office, home, or another remote working place. Everyone is expected on site, on average, three days per week. But specific arrangements will vary from role to role and gig to gig. We encourage and support flexible working arrangements where we can. 

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 we offer:  

• 33 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays (pro rata) 
• Access to an independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service
• Hands-on experience enabling you to develop key professional skills
• Opportunity to gain insight into a dynamic working environment
• Support to build your network with expert guidance

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. 

Closing date: 14th November 2025  - We reserve the right to close the job advert early dependent on application volumes.
