Manufacturing Engineer - Tooling

Full Time

Derby / Hybrid

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join the Civil Large Engines Assembly Tooling Design Team in Derby. As a Manufacturing Engineer you'll play a key role in the design and delivery of bespoke tooling solutions that support the assembly and overhaul of Rolls-Royce civil aerospace engines. These solutions span across the full product lifecycle-from experimental demonstrators to full-rate production and aftermarket services.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century.

We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

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.

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.

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

This is a dynamic and technically rewarding role that offers real scope for innovation, ownership, and professional growth.

We're looking for individuals who are not only technically capable but also ambitious, proactive, and passionate about their own development. You'll be part of a supportive, collaborative team where curiosity and continuous improvement are highly valued.

  • Health & Safety : Ensure all tooling designs comply with the highest Health, Safety & Environmental (HS&E) standards. You'll actively contribute to our Zero Harm objectives by embedding safety into every aspect of design and implementation.
  • Driving Quality Excellence : Apply robust Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) principles to deliver right-first-time tooling solutions.

You'll champion a zero-defect mindset and support the development of best practices throughout the team.

  • Technical Leadership & Delivery :

    • Define technical requirements and specifications for new and modified tooling systems.

  • Make key design decisions, approve manufacturing drawings, FEA / stress reports, and ensure CE marking and compliance, where required.
  • Take ownership of tooling projects-from concept through to commissioning-across Experimental, Production, and Aftermarket build lines.
  • Coordinate with customers and suppliers, place tooling orders, and provide ongoing technical oversight to ensure delivery to quality and timeline expectations.
  • Support fleet issues and emergent requirements with agile tooling responses, including rapid design, validation, and deployment.
  • Create tooling process documentation, including build sequences and user training materials, and contribute to PFMEA and risk reviews.

    • Who we're looking for

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

  • A degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or design engineering (or equivalent relevant experience).
  • Strong CAD capability, with proficiency in Siemens Nx (or willingness to learn fast).
  • A good understanding of engine build or overhaul processes, gained through hands-on experience or subsystem design / manufacturing roles.
  • Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply root cause analysis to technical challenges.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in conveying complex technical information clearly.
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing systems and industrialisation processes (preferred).
  • A proactive mindset with a strong drive for personal and professional development.

    • You should be eager to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility in a world-class engineering environment.

    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.

    We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
