Rolls Royce Group
Dahlewitz, Germany
Description
Structures and Transmissions (S&T) have the largest variety of components across the engine of any Supply Chain Unit within Rolls-Royce. Our component responsibility includes gears, gearboxes and radial/accessory drive shafts, Oil Tanks & Pumps, bearings, the major engine structures, engine casings and combustor as well as structural castings. We are responsible for capability development and global supply chain management of key strategic suppliers; and domestic manufacture of major engine structures in the UK.
We are creating a capability to design and test large main line gearboxes in our Dahlewitz site for the UltraFan TM. The challenge that this presents needs developments and implementation of manufacturing capability through research centres and our supply chain. Several positions have therefore become available in a new Manufacturing Engineering team based in a focused factory at the Lake Constance.
