The Ministry of Defence’s Unity contract with Rolls-Royce is expected to create at least 200 new jobs in Cardiff and Glasgow.
The eight-year agreement, valued at around £9 billion, consolidates research, design, manufacturing, and in-service support for the nuclear reactors powering the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.
Although the overall contract details were previously reported, the specific job figures were recently reiterated during a Written Question to the Ministry of Defence on Monday, 3 February 2025.
Responding to a query from Dave Doogan (Scottish National Party – Angus and Perthshire Glens) about the employment impact in these cities, Minister of State Maria Eagle stated: “Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd estimate the Unity contract will create at least 200 new jobs in Glasgow and Cardiff providing the company with longer-term contractual security to plan and develop their existing and future workforce.”
This reconfirmation highlights the contract’s local economic significance for both regions. Rolls-Royce and the Ministry of Defence have indicated that Unity represents a collaborative undertaking, designed to streamline and advance the continuous at-sea deterrent programme.
By merging existing and future submarine-related work into a single portfolio, the contract aims to maintain a steady pipeline of high-skilled roles—now reaffirmed to include at least 200 positions in Cardiff and Glasgow.
And what about England ? Why is it such a thing that Scotland and Wales are given a mention ?

Because the 200 jobs are in Glasgow and Cardiff….not England?
Not everything has to be about England!
Not everything ever is about England anymore… Haven’t you noticed ?
Grow up Jimbo! Glasgow and Belfast have major boat yards and bases that the Nuclear sub fleet regularly visit. Its not Glasgow or Belfast’s fault England didn’t want to store any nukes inside them.
Glasgow is close to Faslane and has a lot of subject matter expertise locally they can call upon to fill these positions. Bristol is basically full as it has lots and lots of MoD work happening there, plus no one can afford to live there anyway. Cardiff is basically an overflow for Bristol. Hope that answers your question. There is also lots of work happening is Barrow, Derby, Leicester and Warrington, to name just a few sites that also support the project.
