UPDATE: Plans to double the size of Rolls-Royce's Raynesway site in Derby and create more than 1,100 new jobs have taken a major step forward.
Specialist design partners - AtkinsRéalis and Mott MacDonald - have been appointed to take the project forward. The next milestone in the project is to select the construction partner, who will bring AtkinsRéalis and Mott MacDonald’s designs to life.
The huge expansion is required to meet the growth in demand from the Royal Navy and to supply all the nuclear reactor plants that will power the new attack submarines as part of AUKUS - the recently announced tri-lateral agreement between Australia, the UK and US.
Rolls-Royce Submarines currently employs more than 4,000 people and designs, manufactures and provides in-service support to the pressurised water reactors that power every boat in the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.
