Glasgow Office Opens to Support Aukus Nuclear Submarine Program

The new Rolls-Royce Submarines facility will create over 100 skilled jobs and play a key role in building next-generation nuclear submarines for the UK and Australia.

The Glasgow office will focus on designing electrical components and supporting the Aukus trilateral nuclear submarine agreement between the UK, US, and Australia.
Rolls-Royce Submarines will provide nuclear reactor plants for the Dreadnought-class submarines, replacing the UK's Vanguard vessels carrying the Trident nuclear deterrent.
The facility is expected to generate more than 100 high-skilled jobs, leveraging Glasgow's expertise in shipbuilding and marine engineering.
Submarines under this program are projected to begin service in the late 2030s for the UK and early 2040s for Australia.
Government officials highlighted the strategic importance of the program, emphasizing its contribution to economic growth, national security, and the UK's nuclear deterrent capabilities.
