[1/2] A BR700-725 jet engine is seen at the assembly line of the Rolls-Royce Germany plant, in Dahlewitz near Berlin, Germany February 28, 2023.
Tufan Erginbilgic, who took over in January, is the latest chief executive to try to tackle the company's inefficiencies.
On Tuesday the company said it planned to shed up to 2,500 roles out of its total staff of 42,000.
"This is another step on our multi-year transformation journey to build a high performing, competitive, resilient and growing Rolls-Royce," he said.
As part of the new streamlining plan, Rolls-Royce said it would merge its engineering technology and safety groups, and as a result chief technology officer Grazia Vittadini would leave in April 2024.
