This amounts to about 6% of its 42,000-strong workforce, half of which are in the UK. It has 11,000 employees in Germany and 5,500 in the US.Tufan Erginbilgiç, a former BP executive who <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/26/rolls-royce-tufan-erginbilgic-chief-executive-bp-warren-east" target="_blank">took over Rolls-Royce in January</a>, said: “We are building a Rolls-Royce that is fit for the future. That means a more streamlined and efficient organisation that will deliver for our customers, partners and shareholders.“This is another step on our multi-year transformation journey to build a high performing, competitive, resilient and growing Rolls-Royce.”The company did not give any detail on where the jobs will be reduced and said this would be determined in the coming months. Its submarines business in Derby, which makes reactors for Royal Navy nuclear-powered subs, will not be affected by the cuts.The job reductions are thought to be mainly management and support functions rather than engineers. Rolls-Royce wants to reorganise teams such as finance, legal and HR, providing shared support to “remove duplication” and “achieve greater effectiveness”.The company will also create a single team for engineering technology and safety, responsible for “product safety, engineering standards, process, methods and tools”. The new team will be led by Simon Burr, who is currently director of product development and technology in its civil aviation arm. The chief technology officer, Grazia Vittadini, will leave next April, the company said.Erginbilgiç hinted at big changes in January when he <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/27/rolls-royce-is-a-burning-platform-that-must-transform-says-new-ceo" target="_blank">described the group as a “burning platform”</a>, to prevent one of Britain’s most venerable and complex manufacturers from falling further behind its rivals.Rolls-Royce’s financial performance has <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/20/rolls-royce-ready-to-rejoin-smaller-jet-engines-market-says-boss" target="_blank">improved markedly in the past year</a>, mainly thanks to the recovery in global air travel after the coronavirus pandemic. Although its focus on long-haul travel has meant it has lagged behind rivals that make engines for short-haul planes, its share price has more than doubled since the start of this year but still remains below its pre-pandemic level in 2019.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67118265" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67118265</a></blockquote>
