I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Bristol, England) in Aug 2012
Interview
Had a telephone interview with two interviewers, where I answered the following questions:
a. About a Compressor Blade Failure, b. Three of my skills, that I consider most important for the specific opening.
Was invited in the assessment center in Bristol, UK where I had:
a. Made a presentation about myself,
b. Had a technical interview with two parts, one was technical questions related to different experiences I had during my career. The second part consisted of technical questions related to a drawing of a specific gas turbine engine (Adour).
c. Took a verbal test that was very time demanding.
d. Had a group test, to construct a bridge that would carry balls (table tennis, tennis, cotton reel) from a point A on a table to point B on a different table next to the previous one (40 cm apart).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical interview was very demanding, with difficult questions concerning various failures of a gas turbine engine.
Also the verbal test was very time demanding and couldn't finish it all within the 20 min period.
