Pros

Supportive place that fosters advancement.

Cons

Huge company that’s easy to get lost in as a cog in the wheel.

Our employees are the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating collaborative environments that transcend cultures and geographical boundaries, where all ideas, viewpoints and input are heard, respected and considered. And while we’ve made tremendous progress, we’re always striving to be better.

We believe that all our individual differences are valuable. By embracing those differences and working together, we’re more innovative and resilient, safer, and better prepared to conquer any challenge.

“It is essential to our future that everyone — every single member of our ONE KBR team of teams — feels empowered and valued, and that they have the resources and opportunities to realize their full potential.”

– Stuart Bradie, KBR President and Chief Executive Officer

Why Work at KBR

Every day, the people of KBR are helping make the world a better, safer, more sustainable place through the cutting-edge solutions they deliver. And every day, KBR is working to show them how much they are valued. We aim to inspire our people by offering them fulfilling careers, an exceptional employee experience, opportunities for growth and development, and compelling, competitive rewards.

Compensation and Benefits
KBR has established a competitive reward and remuneration program that aligns with local market demand. Our performance-based compensation program includes base pay, salary increases, bonuses, incentive-based rewards and stock. And KBR’s employee support program provides employees and families free access to a full suite of resources and services, available 24/7. Rewards and benefits may vary by region.

Flexible Working
Work flexibility is more important than ever, and the ability to work flexibly is something a majority of global workers want. At KBR, we’re listening. Through KBR Agile Work Weeks, employees may work with their managers to create flexible arrangements — such as part- or full-time remote and superflex — that make work work for them while still meeting their team’s needs and customer requirements.

Mental Fitness
We offer several resources that help our people proactively take charge of and maintain their mental health and fitness. These include confidential, impartial support through our employee support program; access to more than 100 trained KBR Well-being Ambassador support personnel; and access to meQ, an app-based platform designed to help build personal resilience through customizable solutions that help manage stress, uncertainty and change.

Talent and Development
Whether it’s the tens of thousands of available e-learnings or our comprehensive leadership development programs, KBR’s Talent Development team strives to provide employees with the resources they need to feel they’re part of our ONE KBR team of teams. From the very beginning of their journey at KBR, we work with our people to help develop a clear picture of where they are in their career, where they’d like to go, and how best to get there.

KBRextras provides discounts and exclusive offers on things employees use every day, available where they live, work and travel. Employees can save on things like home and auto insurance, dining and entertainment, phones and technology, travel, and much more. Availability varies by region. Rewards and benefits may vary by region.

Interns & Graduates

At KBR, we empower young professionals to pursue what inspires them by giving them the resources they need to grow.

We attract the strongest candidates because our team members are encouraged to use their greatest strength: themselves.

Our internship and recent graduate programs will fast-track your development and help shape you into a successful early career professional ready to tackle any challenge. KBR offers on-the-job training, professional mentorship by industry leaders, and networking opportunities to help you to become a leader among the next generation of professionals.

Student training and development opportunities vary from region to region and include graduate development programs, internships, and apprenticeships.

“We welcome talented individuals and provide challenges to develop their skills over the course of an entire career.”

We encourage young KBR employees just starting their careers to join our IMPACT employee resource group. Founded in 2001 for graduates entering the company with zero to seven years of professional experience, the program lets members grow organically through volunteer experiences, mentoring and networking opportunities. Today, IMPACT remains an organization run by young professionals for young professionals, reflecting the diversity of the workforce while providing opportunities to bond with friends and leadership from around the world.

Former Military

KBR’s extensive support of the U.S. and U.K. governments and their allies includes offering former service members new and exciting opportunities to continue serving their countries while forging a fulfilling civilian career.

KBR has a long history of working side by side with the military and supporting active-duty soldiers, veterans and their families. KBR prides itself on creating environments where military and veteran families feel appreciated and can grow both professionally and personally, including through our Armed Forces Community Employee Resource Group. Why? Because we know firsthand that by leveraging veterans’ incredible experience, discipline and ingenuity, we can deliver better solutions to our customers.

“KBR prides itself on creating environments where military and veteran families feel appreciated and can grow both professionally and personally.”

When the moment comes to transfer from military service to a civilian career, join KBR — the team behind the mission.

Visit our Former Military page to learn more about how we help transition from military service to a civilian career at KBR.

Employee Resources

In addition to creating inclusive and collaborative work environments, KBR also offers several outlets for employees to connect, network and build relationships, while also focusing on professional development, social activism and community engagement.

KBR’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) help shape our ONE KBR culture by bringing together people of different backgrounds who, though perhaps separated by miles, are united by their interests and commonalities.

Visit our ERG page to learn about KBR's groups that celebrate our company’s diverse employee population.

Community

We believe that being a good corporate citizen is vital to our success. And we work hard to be a positive social force in the communities where we live and work.

Our people are extremely active in these communities, both in terms of charitable giving and outreach efforts. Since 2007, KBR has contributed nearly $20 million to benefit charitable causes around the globe, including our charity golf tournament, held annually in Houston, which has raised more than $7.4 million since 2007 for local and national nonprofit organizations.

Additionally, we’re dedicated to improving social mobility for local people in many of the areas where we operate. For years, we’ve provided access to apprenticeships, training, education and development opportunities, creating a career advantage that can have a lasting positive impact.
