I applied online. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, Inglaterra) in Jun 2017
Interview
Online application with cover letter and CV as well as some information pertaining to permission to work etc. Thereafter there was a telephone call asking the following:
- What do you know about the company?
- What is your salary expectation?
- Name your key three skills relevant to the role.
Thereafter I was invited to Derby for the interview. The panel was purely technical and the interview was highly technical, too. First, they bring out a schematic of a gas turbine and ask technical questions about the machine. These range from specific complex questions about their IP to basic fundamental questions relevant to your area of expertise. Secondly, they ask STAR type competency questions.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Rotherham, England) in Dec 2016
Interview
Standard 1 hour interview on site. Entrance is pretty straightforward if you've been to a factory before, i.e. guard house report, escorted through, get placed in a room, interview commence.
Go through the CV, asked why you want to work here (industry vs academia), describe a manufacturing process. Very fast paced, the interviewer wanted to see if you can react quick (gets shut down if too lengthy words used/not straight to the point), understand the type of work within the factory, what role you wanted (3 advertised).
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Friedrichshafen) in Aug 2016
