The posting

Assistant Project Control Engineer

Location: Derby, Manchester or Warrington (Hybrid)

Salary: £30,000.00 - £39,400.00

Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. At Rolls-Royce SMR, we are developing a British nuclear technology with global potential, helping to address the world's growing demand for secure, low-carbon energy.

Our Project Management Office (PMO) plays a critical role in turning ambitious plans into successful delivery. Working across complex programmes, the team provides the governance, control, reporting and insight needed to support one of the UK's most exciting clean energy projects.

We're looking for an Assistant Project Control Engineer to join our PMO team, reporting to a Cost Engineer or Project Controls Manager. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their project controls career who wants to develop specialist expertise in cost management, forecasting and project performance within a rapidly growing organisation.

We'll need you to:

  • Supporting the development and maintenance of project budgets, forecasts and cost reporting processes
  • Tracking actual costs, commitments and accruals to ensure accurate project performance data
  • Collaborating with planners, Project Controls Managers and Work Package Managers to maintain cost integrity across assigned scopes
  • Contributing to performance reporting, dashboard creation, KPI tracking and variance analysis activities

This is a high-impact development opportunity where you'll combine analytical thinking, curiosity and collaboration while building long-term expertise in project controls within a highly regulated, technically complex environment.

We're particularly interested in hearing from people with:

  • A degree or equivalent qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, Finance or a related discipline, or comparable industry experience
  • Knowledge of project cost control, budgeting, forecasting or project controls principles
  • Experience using Excel for reporting, analysis and data management, with exposure to tools such as Power BI, SAP or similar systems advantageous
  • A collaborative approach, strong communication skills and a genuine desire to learn and develop professionally

We'll also be interested in hearing about your experience supporting project delivery environments and your ability to turn data into meaningful project insights. Experience within infrastructure, energy, nuclear or similarly complex industries would be beneficial but is not essential.

What’s in It for You

We anticipate paying a salary of between £30,000 - £39,400, plus:-

  • Bonus - Performance related bonus of up to 7%
  • Benefits Allowance – £2,200, enabling you to create a bespoke package
  • Pension - 12% employer and 6% employee contributions.
  • Holidays - 28 days holiday (+ public holidays) and the ability to buy or sell up to 4 days
  • Private Medical Insurance - BUPA single cover health care
  • Life Assurance - 6x pensionable pay
  • £250 - One-off payment for new starters for home office purchases

Pay Range:

£30,000.00

-

£39,375.00

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
