An opportunity has arisen for an experienced and driven Capability Lead to lead a Training Design and Delivery team of instructional designers, developers, and training delivery professionals. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategy, implementation, and continual improvement of training programmes at Rolls-Royce Submarines and in the broader Submarines Enterprise.

This is a leadership role ideal for someone who is passionate about developing people and learning and enhancing workforce capability, understands instructional design methodologies and is confident in managing both people and training project plans in a technical and regulated environment.

Why Rolls-Royce?

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 in the Engineering and Technology function of the Rolls-Royce Submarines business.

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.

This is an exciting time to join the Nuclear Product Training team as we not only look to implement several transformational improvements to training development and delivery but also expand the reach of the team across the Submarines Enterprise and further afield to the Australian Submarine Agency.

This strategic dimension to the role provides a unique opportunity for learning and developing and expanding your professional network.

What we offer

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.

Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It's a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we're all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing

With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

• Lead and manage a team of instructional designers, content developers, and training delivery professionals including allocating resource and managing individual performance and development plans to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of training solutions.
• Oversee the full lifecycle of nuclear product training programmes from conducting training needs analysis, designing and developing technically accurate and engaging material and ensuring effective delivery and evaluation.
• Manage a team project plan including communicating with internal and external stakeholders to capture new requirements and demands, re-prioritising when required.
• Support the delivery of learning governance including training compliance and records, audit readiness, standardised practices, responding to performance metrics and reporting training impact using structured models (e.g., Kirkpatrick).
• Champion learning innovation by staying up-to-date on emerging learning technologies and methodologies to aid identifying and leading improvements.
• Deputise for the Nuclear Product Training Manager and representing Rolls-Royce at a variety of internal and external meetings.

Who we're looking for:

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 demonstrate the following:

• Proven experience in leading and managing a team, ideally within a learning and development, instructional design or training delivery environment.
• Experience or awareness of instructional design methodologies (e.g., ADDIE, SAM, Bloom's Taxonomy) and learning evaluation frameworks (e.g., Kirkpatrick)
• Experience or awareness of developing and delivering training across multiple formats (e.g. instructor-led, eLearning, blended learning)
• Proven experience and skillset in project management with the ability to manage multiple projects with competing deadlines
• Strong stakeholder management and problem-solving skills within a multi-functional and complex environment.
• Strong communication skills, externally and internally, with the ability to communicate up to a senior level in concise definitive terms.

• Degree in Education, Instructional Design, Organisational Development, HR Development, Engineering, or related field.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.

We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be.
