Rolls Royce SMR - Head Of Property

Rolls Royce SMR - Head Of Property

Head of Property Candidate Information Pack

Introduction Dear Candidate,

Thank you for taking the time to read about this opportunity. We’re working exclusively with Rolls-Royce SMR to find their Head of Property. Rolls-Royce SMR was established with one clear goal - to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Rolls-Royce SMR offers a radically different approach to delivering nuclear power. A 90% factory-built solution, drastically reducing project risk, shortening construction times and increasing delivery certainty. The Rolls-Royce SMR is a world-class global product for a global market - using established nuclear technology developed by a UK-based team building on decades of engineering, manufacturing and nuclear reactor design experience. Spun out of Rolls-Royce with its pedigree in engineering excellence but also attracting world class inward investment this is an exciting new business with an optimistic opportunity to be a global player in the coming years. Based primarily in Manchester, with offices also in Derby and Warrington, Rolls Royce SMR is a low cost, clean energy solution designed and made in the UK, creating a modern approach to green energy by creating low-cost source of energy such as hydrogen and synthetic fuel. The new nuclear technology is set to produce low carbon power and create new jobs across the UK. They are seeking a Head of Property, who will lead the creation, development and implementation plan for the RR SMR estate strategy, working closely with shareholders and supply chain partners, and leading on all aspects of property, asset, and space management. This brand new role involves building and growing a professional team, ensuring the transition from feasibility to delivery is delivered smoothly and in line with the strategy.

Rolls-Royce SMR Overview

What is SMR? SMRs, or Small Modular Reactors, are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 470 MW(e) per unit, which is about a third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors.

A single Rolls-Royce SMR unit can power approximately one million homes.

Rolls-Royce SMR’s small modular reactor (SMR) programme is the first of its kind in the UK.

A Rolls-Royce SMR power station will have the capacity to generate 470mw of low-carbon energy, equivalent to more than 150 onshore wind turbines. It will provide consistent baseload generation for at least 60 years, helping achieve the Government’s target of 24GW of nuclear energy by 2050. In addition to stable base load power, Rolls-Royce SMRs will be able to provide energy for the manufacture of green hydrogen and synthetic fuels, to support the path to Net Zero and the decarbonisation of transport. Out technology is based upon well-established Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) technology, in use all over the world, but Rolls-Royce SMR’s unique approach will see the reactor components built in factory conditions and assembled on site. Our factory-built model is entirely scalable, as demand increases, we invest in further factories using the same design and management systems used for all our SMRs. When fully operational the Rolls-Royce SMR programme is forecast to create 40,000 regional UK jobs by 2050 and generate £52bn in economic benefit. Having begun the design assessment process with the UK regulators, the organisation is at a point where it needs to significantly increase its workforce, offering candidates the opportunity to work with cutting edge technology within a world-class team.

Small – physically a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear power reactor. Modular – making it possible for systems and components to be factory- assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation.

Reactors – harnessing nuclear fission to generate heat to produce energy.

Given their smaller footprint, SMRs can be sited on locations not suitable for larger nuclear power plants. Prefabricated units of SMRs can be manufactured and then shipped and installed on site, making them more affordable to build than large power reactors, which are often custom designed for a particular location, sometimes leading to construction delays. SMRs offer savings in cost and construction time, and they can be deployed incrementally to match increasing energy demand.

Our Vision

To provide clean, affordable energy for all. For nuclear power to be widely adopted and meaningfully contribute to the global effort to decarbonise, it needs to be commercially investable and reliably delivered. The global challenge around decarbonisation is huge, with an increasing demand for clean, affordable electricity set to increase, driven by: • Increasing electrification of systems, including transport and heating systems. • A growing hydrogen economy, where clean forms of hydrogen generation need clean electricity at large scale. • The emergence of e-fuels and synthetic aviation fuels to enable decarbonisation of transport. • An increasing demand for energy, driven by population growth and increasing global development. • An increasing demand for constant forms of power to support a decarbonising electricity grid and growing technology industries, such as >Page 1 Page 2-3 Page 4-5 Page 6-7 Page 8-9 Page 10-11 Page 12
