Turner & Townsend selected as part of the programme delivery team for Rolls-Royce SMR
Turner & Townsend, the global professional services company, has been appointed to the delivery team in the global deployment of Rolls-Royce SMR’s nuclear programme.
Working alongside Amentum as Programme Delivery Partner and fellow supply chain partners Mace, Hochtief and Unipart, Turner & Townsend will play a key role in the global deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) through an integrated suite of services.
These include programme and portfolio management (P3M), cost and commercial management, contract management, controls and performance, procurement and supply chain support, construction, information management and digital delivery.
The Rolls‑Royce SMR programme represents a major, long‑term growth opportunity for the sector, supporting job creation both here in the UK and across the regions where Rolls‑Royce SMR units are deployed, alongside the development of a strong UK‑based portfolio and supply chain capability.
Ruth Todd CBE, Rolls-Royce SMR’s Operations and Supply Chain Director, said:
“Partnering with Amentum to successfully deliver the Rolls-Royce SMR program is an important moment for us.”
This partnership supplements our existing capabilities with specialist expertise, geographical reach and provides access to the breadth of Amentum’s wider supply chain.
“It ensures we are equipped to deliver our programs in the UK, Czech Republic, in Sweden and globally with confidence, scale and robust delivery assurance. The Amentum, Rolls-Royce SMR collaboration advances our deployment plans significantly.”
Alan Sinclair, Director and Head of Energy and Natural Resources, UK at Turner & Townsend, said:
We are delighted to be supporting Amentum and Rolls-Royce SMR on this landmark programme.
“The appointment reflects our extensive experience delivering complex nuclear and energy programmes at scale and our ability to provide commercial and programme leadership across multimarket portfolios.”
"With global electricity demand expected to double in the coming decades, Rolls-Royce SMR offers a radically different approach to new nuclear: smaller, scalable factory-built nuclear power plants that can be deployed, using a modular approach, for a range of applications."
The Programme Delivery Partner role represents an expansion of Turner & Townsend’s long‑standing involvement with Rolls‑Royce SMR, following several years of support across the programme. Under the Amentum‑led PDP arrangement, the firm will work alongside Hochtief, Mace Consult and Unipart Consultancy to support large‑scale deployment globally.
