- Aerospace Fitter: Learn to assemble aircraft engines using a range of tools and technical instructions. It'll be your job to make sure the components and the way they're assembled meet the high standards we demand.
- Machinist: This is precision work, making components from specialist materials using world-class machinery. Measuring and checking they're exactly right for our requirements too.
How it works:
Year one
For the first few weeks, you'll get to know Rolls-Royce and the people who'll be with you throughout your programme. This includes a mentor and your fellow 'Switchers'. From there, you'll split your time each week as follows.
- Four days a week based at our Filton site in Bristol, where you'll develop practical skills to enable you to achieve your Level 2 Diploma in Engineering Operations qualification.
- One day a week you'll be studying for your Knowledge qualification (EAL Level 2 Certificate in Engineering Operations) where you'll attend classes and develop your digital skills and Engineering knowledge.
- You will have two extended work placements on site in Bristol to give you insights into the roles available for you to choose in Year two.
- Where required, you'll start some of your days (07:45–09:15) at Weston College studying and improving your skills in Maths and/or English.
Year two
You'll be aligned to an Aerospace Fitter or Machinist apprentice role. You'll spend more time at your training provider where you'll continue to develop both your academic knowledge and practical skills.
This will be combined with spending time on site at a Rolls-Royce facility, developing your workplace skills and working on parts that go into our world-class aircraft engines. You'll get half a day each week to meet with your mentor, discuss your progress, work on personal skills and get any extra support you need to succeed.
Year three and four
You'll work four days a week on site in your role, learning on the job. One day a week will be spent at your training provider, studying the academic qualifications required for your Level 3 apprenticeship.
Who we're looking for:

Do you:
- Enjoy hands on practical tasks
- Use your initiative and manage your time effectively
- Have strong problem-solving skills
- Work well in a team environment?
If you've spent time in the workforce and are looking for a fresh challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
This programme requires hard work and lots of learning. If you're offered a place, we'll support you to achieve the equivalent of a GCSE in Maths and English. We're looking for people who are capable and committed to learning at this level.
What's more important than anything, however, is an interest in the work we do and an eagerness to develop.
So, if you like the idea of a job that gives you fantastic colleagues, great long-term progression, and the opportunity to play a part in our world-leading work – it's time to Switch.
