Working Location: Winsford

Are you a skilled and hands‑on fitter with a passion for precision and service? In this critical role supporting our Defence customers, you’ll help deliver and maintain essential power generation and electrical distribution systems. Your work will directly contribute to the success of high-performance equipment supporting military operations. This is an opportunity to make a real difference in a fast‑paced, safety‑first environment.

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. This role sits within our Distributed Generation Systems (DGS) team, delivering power generation and electrical systems for the UK’s armed forces.

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.

As a Mechanical/Electrical Fitter, you’ll play a key part in delivering essential maintenance and repair services across our diesel‑powered generation systems. You’ll benefit from being part of a supportive team, hands‑on training, and opportunities to broaden your skill set across electrical and mechanical disciplines.

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.

With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

• 
  
• Disassemble, inspect, clean, test and reassemble mechanical and electrical assemblies to strict standards
  
• Work with diesel power generation and electrical distribution systems in support of military contracts
  
• Collaborate with team leads to ensure quality, delivery, and cost expectations are met
  
• Maintain high standards of safety, documentation, and shop floor efficiency
  

At Rolls‑Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• 
  
• Have completed a recognised mechanical or electrical apprenticeship (or equivalent experience)
  
• Bring experience working on diesel engines or electrical systems in a service or MRO environment
  
• Be comfortable working independently and as part of a close‑knit, goal‑focused team
  
• Show good communication and documentation skills in a regulated environment
  
• Demonstrate a hands‑on, proactive approach with strong attention to detail
  

To work for the Rolls‑Royce Defence business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls‑Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation programme aims to turn Rolls‑Royce into a high‑performing, competitive, resilient and growing company. Join us, and it can be your future vision too.

Rolls‑Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non‑discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.
