Rolls-Royce Materials Engineering Degree Apprenticeship - Derby, UK

As Materials Engineering is a broad discipline, you could be involved in failure investigation, capability acquisition, manufacturing support, materials application, specifications and data and supplier management. Depending on your placements, you could be:

Helping our suppliers deliver products and materials within specification Statistically analysing and modelling material properties to help Design Engineers understand how they behave in extreme environments Conducting forensic failure investigations by carrying out metallurgical analysis into a product or material to understand how its performance can be improved, and higher product safety can be achieved Mapping out various technical processes and improving them to reduce cost and enhance delivery times Testing materials to understand their properties

Training:

Materials Science Technologist (degree) - Level 6. 

Across four years, you’ll complete a series of placements in both materials and manufacturing. You’ll support the various processes involved in designing and manufacturing a component, such as additive layer manufacturing, investment casting, welding, heat treatments, application of coatings, laser processes and chemical processing. You’ll also work on a variety of laboratory equipment, from initial microscopic component preparation through to scanning electron microscopes.

This practical experience will be supported by formal learning as you undertake a degree in a Materials or Manufacturing discipline at the University of Derby. Across it all, you’ll develop a broad overview of this area as you split your time between offices, laboratories, manufacturing sites and university, providing a mix of hands-on and theoretical experience.
