Interview Practice Questions

Q1: 70 Historic Engines at Aero
Q2: Volunteers from the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust will carefully restore the engines onsite, giving visitors a rare opportunity to witness heritage preservation in action.
Q3: Sold Naval Propulsors to Fairbanks Morse Defense
Q4: Rolls-Royce has supplied six highly efficient combined heat and power plants based on mtu Series 4000 L64FNER gas engines for the power plant in Worksop and will ensure the reliable operation of the plant for ten years under a maintenance contract.
Q5: Rolls-Royce, energy services provider Landmark and carbon dioxide specialist ASCO have teamed up to commission a 10-megawatt gas engine power plant with a carbon capture system in the United Kingdom. Located in Worksop in the East Midlands region, the first tankers carrying purified and liquefied CO2 have already been picked up from the site for use in the food industry to carbonate beverages such as beer and lemonade.
Q6: The CO2 is extracted from the exhaust gases of the mtu gas engines - captured by a recovery system - processed, and liquefied. The plant will capture up to 30,000 tons of CO2 per year. The power plant feeds electricity into the grid for around 10,000 households and helps to ensure its stability. The heat produced by the combined heat and power mtu plants will be used both for carbon capture processes and to supply heat to households in the surrounding area.
Q7: Rolls-Royce, energy services provider Landmark, and carbon dioxide specialist ASCO have commissioned a 10-megawatt gas engine power plant including a CO2 recovery system in the UK. The CO2 is extracted from the exhaust gases of the mtu gas engines, captured by a recovery system, processed, and liquefied. The power plant feeds electricity into the grid for around 10,000 households and helps to ensure its stability. The heat produced simultaneously by the mtu combined heat and power plants is used both for CO2 recovery and to supply heat to households in the surrounding area.
Q8: Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) has been selected by the European Union’s Clean Aviation programme to lead one of 12 groundbreaking new projects aiming to decarbonise aviation. These initiatives, which include new aircraft concepts and innovative propulsion technologies, will receive funding of about €945 million.
Q9: olls-Royce, in a consortium with Flexpowernet, has been awarded a contract by Dutch grid operator Stedin to supply 24 containerized mobile mtu gas gensets. The units, with a total output of 60 megawatts, are to be deployed in the province of Utrecht from winter 2026 to stabilize the power supply. The mtu gas gensets are bundled into 6 x 4 identical units, each with a capacity of ten megawatts.
Q10: Lithuanian energy supplier Ignitis Group, which specializes in renewable energy, has selected Rolls-Royce to supply large-scale battery storage systems from the mtu EnergyPack brand. The order comprises of systems with a total storage capacity of 582 megawatt hours and a total output of 291 megawatts, which will contribute to the power grid in Lithuania from 2027 onwards. This is the largest battery order ever received by Rolls-Royce's Power Systems division. The company has now delivered mtu battery storage solutions for over 200 projects worldwide.
Q11: “An important component of the Rolls-Royce solution is the mtu EnergetIQ Manager, which was developed in-house and is tailored to our battery systems. This intelligent control system not only manages the three battery parks, but also the connected wind farms and controls both power supply and storage,” explained Andreas Görtz, President of Sustainable and Mobile Power Solutions at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. “Battery storage systems are a central component of our strategy. We are proud that our technology is helping to ensure a secure power supply in Lithuania.”
Q12: “Power generation from renewables is growing in Lithuania, which makes battery energy storage systems an important guarantee of reliability. They make the network more flexible, enable efficient use of green energy and help maintain stability even through heavy fluctuations. Battery energy storage systems are a key component of green transition as they will help integrate more green capacities, balance the fluctuations in power prices as well as reduce them,” said Darius Maikštenas, CEO of Ignitis Group.
Q13: “As the preferred bidder to develop the UK’s first Small Modular Reactors (SMR) we particularly welcome the commitment of the UK Government and Great British Energy – Nuclear to speed up deployment, through an accelerated licencing process alongside vital planning reforms, to get nuclear project sites in the UK approved more quickly. Delivering our three SMRs will enable us to support an average of almost 8,000 highly skilled UK jobs per year and accelerate the delivery of power to the grid, reducing energy bills, to the mid-2030s
Q14: In June this year, Rolls-Royce SMR Ltd was selected as the preferred bidder to develop the UK’s first commercial Small Modular Reactor (SMR). Rolls-Royce SMR Ltd. is committed to working with UK Government and the regulator to deliver power-to-grid by the mid-2030s. Building a fleet of SMRs will contribute £54bn for the British economy and unlock new export opportunities for the UK.
Q15: In October 2024, Rolls-Royce SMR was selected by energy firm CEZ to deploy up to 3GW of electricity in the Czech Republic. We continue to see significant international interest in Rolls-Royce SMRs, including in Sweden where we have been shortlisted as one of two potential SMR providers by Vattenfall.
Q16: In 2022, Rolls-Royce launched their award-winning Nuclear Skills Academy, in partnership with the University of Derby. The academy takes on up to 200 apprentices each year, enabling a pipeline of talent at the start of their careers in support of the Royal Navy Submarines programme. This demonstrates the innovative approach that Rolls-Royce has taken to develop essential skills and capability - learnings from which will inform both MOUs.
Q17: The Nuclear Scientist and Nuclear Engineer Degree Apprenticeship has been developed in collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc to enable apprentices to gain a workbased qualification suitable for professional engineers in the nuclear manufacturing industry. The apprenticeship provides you with the skills, qualifications and experience needed to design, make, verify, and support the manufacturing operations involved in the production of nuclear power generation units.
