Assistant Project Manager

Location: Manchester/ Warrington/Derby with Hybrid working available

About Us

At Rolls-Royce SMR, we’re pioneering a new era of clean, reliable nuclear energy through small modular reactor technology. Our mission is to deliver low-carbon power at scale, helping to tackle climate change while creating long-term value for society.

We’re building a diverse, inclusive team where everyone can contribute, grow, and make an impact. We believe different perspectives lead to better decisions—and better outcomes.

The Opportunity

We need you to support the successful delivery of major engineering programmes that will shape the future of energy in the UK and beyond.

As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll work closely with a Programme Manager to manage projects across engineering, procurement, construction and regulatory environments, contributing to the development of a new nuclear power station.

You’ll take ownership of defined project scopes while supporting the wider programme—giving you exposure to complex, high-value work and the chance to grow your career in project management.

What You’ll Be Doing

We need you to:

Deliver projects to agreed time, cost and quality targets
Maintain and support project plans with input from Project Planners
Manage and update financial forecasts in collaboration with Cost Engineers
Monitor performance and provide clear, timely reporting to senior stakeholders
Identify, manage and mitigate project risks and issues
Build strong working relationships across technical and non-technical teams
Support stakeholder meetings, including external partners where required
Capture lessons learned and continuously improve how projects are delivered
Ensure compliance with project management processes and governance standards

What We’re Looking For

We know there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate—if you meet around 75% of the criteria, we’d still love to hear from you.

We’re particularly interested in people who bring:

Project Management Experience

Experience supporting or delivering complex engineering or infrastructure projects
Understanding of planning, budgeting, risk and change management

Technical & Industry Awareness

Exposure to engineering environments or technical projects
Experience in regulated industries (or an interest in developing this) is beneficial

Stakeholder & Communication Skills

Confidence working with a range of stakeholders across different levels
Ability to simplify complex information and influence decisions

Ways of Working

Strong organisation and prioritisation skills
A proactive, problem-solving mindset
Adaptability in fast-paced or evolving environments

Tools & Experience

You may have experience with (or be willing to learn):

Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project
SAP, ARM or similar financial/project systems
Excel, Power BI or Power Apps

Qualifications

Degree in Engineering or relevant experience delivering engineering projects
Project management qualification (e.g. APM PMQ) or equivalent experience
Professional membership (desirable but not essential)

Salary & Benefits

Salary: £42,000 - £55,150
£2,200 flexible benefits allowance
12.5% bonus opportunity
6x pensionable life assurance
50% income protection
28 days holiday + bank holidays
£250 new joiner payment

Pay Range:

£42,000.00

£55,125.00

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values transparency, fairness, and innovation. We offer:

A flexible, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business.
A culture that values diversity, innovation, and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Inclusivity is important to us, and as a Disability Confident organisation, we are committed to fair, supportive, and continually improving recruitment practices that ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.

Also, if you are considering a career move or a sector-jump, please get in touch – we welcome applications from people with transferable skills.

Our Application Process

Due to the safety regulations within the nuclear industry, applicants will be required to participate in additional screening. These are:

Obtaining Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance
Satisfactory completion of a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
Satisfactory completion of a basic financial probity check
