Engineering industry jobs fair

Rolls-Royce, Derby


Rolls-Royce and a group of local partners, which includes the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, are arranging a Jobs Fair at Rolls-Royce in Derby.

For employers, this is an excellent opportunity to identify potential new employees with very strong skillsets in a variety of engineering and management disciplines. Employers are invited to participate 10:00-16:00 plus set-up and clear up.

The Jobs Fair will help find alternative employment for Rolls-Royce employees who have shown an interest in other local opportunities as a consequence of workforce restructuring reductions. The jobs fair will be open to all employees during three timed sessions, morning and afternoon, to enable all to attend.

Here is a summary skillset list of the employees (about 400) who are expected to attend and who will be available later in 2019 to take up new roles:
