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

As an MRO Work Scope Lead , you will have a direct impact on our global operations, ensuring that engineering work scopes for commercial aviation products are delivered on time and to the highest standard. You'll lead a talented team of Managed Service Engineers, driving efficiency, innovation, and continuous improvement across our processes.

Your key responsibilities will include :

Leading and directing a managed service engineering team, establishing governance, frameworks, and efficient processes for delivering work scopes.

Acting as the primary interface between Rolls-Royce and its customers insights, and repair / maintenance recommendations that build trust and strengthen long-term relationships.

Collaborating with aftermarket operations planning to ensure engine-specific priorities are met in real time.

Proactively managing engineering requirements to control MRO scope creep and minimise risk of pass-off failures.

Standardising common work scope resolutions across products, driving improvements through data analysis and feedback from MRO shops.

Responding to emerging trends and technical requirements as engines evolve throughout their lifecycle.

Engaging with technical specialists, data systems, and engineering teams to ensure robust decision-making and consistent outputs.
