Full job description

Head of Programme (Customer Projects)

Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) provides a British solution to a global energy challenge, and we are uniquely positioned to become a global leader in low-carbon nuclear energy, delivering a technology that will power generations to come.

Our Customer Projects team sits at the centre of some of the most significant energy infrastructure programmes in Europe. Working across design, licensing, procurement and construction planning, the team enables successful project delivery while shaping the future deployment of Rolls-Royce SMR technology internationally.

In this context, we are looking for a Head of Programme - GBE-N to support our Project Director in delivering major UK based customer programmes. Reporting to the Project Director and leading integrated, matrixed delivery teams, this is a pivotal role that will help establish and deliver multi-billion-pound nuclear infrastructure projects from development through to Final Investment Decision.

We'll need you to:

Leading integrated programmes across design, licensing, procurement, construction planning and early site works activities.
Coordinating multidisciplinary teams across engineering, operations, supply chain, safety, regulatory and customer organisations to maintain delivery momentum and critical path.
Driving programme governance, risk management, dependency management, reporting and performance against schedule, cost and quality targets.
Building trusted operational relationships with customers, suppliers and international stakeholders to ensure successful programme execution and readiness for Final Investment Decision.

As you can see, this is a high-profile leadership opportunity where you'll bring commercial acumen, delivery focus and the ability to unite diverse teams behind a common objective in a fast-moving international environment.

We're looking for:

A degree in a STEM discipline (or equivalent experience) and chartered status with a recognised professional body such as APM, or equivalent demonstrable expertise.
Experience delivering complex major infrastructure, energy or nuclear programmes, particularly during development, design, licensing or pre-construction phases.
We'll ask you about your experience leading large, integrated programmes involving multiple stakeholders, contractors, regulators and customers.
Strong commercial awareness, including contract delivery, change management, programme governance and NEC contracting experience.

Location

This role can be based at any Rolls-Royce SMR location. We offer hybrid working, however reasonably frequent travel will be required, particularly to support customer projects in Anglesey, with travel expected for up to one week per month.

What's in it for me?

We anticipate paying a salary between £120,000 - £147,000 dependent on the experience, skills and knowledge you bring. Alongside a performance-related bonus, pension and flexible benefits package, you'll have the opportunity to play a leading role in delivering one of Europe's most ambitious clean energy programmes. You'll join a collaborative, innovative organisation committed to professional development, inclusion and long-term career growth.

Package includes:

Bonus – Performance‑related STIP target opportunity up to 25% and LTIP target opportunity of 30%
Benefits Allowance – £10,500 per annum
Pension – 12% employer and 6% employee contributions
Holidays – 28 days (+ public holidays) with the ability to buy or sell up to 5 days
Private Medical Insurance – BUPA single cover
Life Assurance – 6× pensionable pay
Home Office Support – £250 one‑off payment for new starters.

Pay Range:

£110,400.00

£144,900.00

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
