Title
Lead Mechanical Engineers
Delivering Solutions, Changing the World®
Simply put at KBR, we do things that matter.
Every day, our people work together to deliver solutions that are helping solve the great challenges and opportunities of our time, including climate change, national security, energy transition and security, cybersecurity, space exploration, and more.
The KBR team of teams delivers future-forward science, technology and engineering solutions and mission-critical services that help governments and companies around the world accomplish their most important objectives, while also helping achieve their sustainability goals.
KBR’s global business comprises two main segments. This role sits within STS in the Integrated Solutions business unit.
Integrated Solutions is the engineering and project delivery group providing services which include front-end and detailed engineering, procurement, construction services, and program management primarily in the hydrocarbons and energy transition industries.
The energy industry is at a pivotal point in history. With traditional energy such as oil and gas needing to become more sustainable and the world looking to alternative energy sources, our engineers are at the forefront of this energy transition for some of the biggest clients in the industry.
KBR is designing and constructing exciting projects at the forefront of the energy transition and traditional energy markets. We work on some of the biggest and most complex energy industry projects around the world and our teams are some of the best and brightest in the industry.
The role
We're excited to invite lead mechanical engineers to explore future opportunities with our dynamic team at KBR. The role of lead mechanical engineer is highly valued within KBR and involves extensive interface with the client, project management, suppliers, corporate management, and the global team of mechanical engineers employed throughout KBR’s worldwide offices. Leads a group of engineers on a project. Plans, budgets, organises, and controls an important segment of a very extensive and highly diversified engineering program. Responsible for a measurable asset such as an assigned staff and work hour budget and successful delivery of mechanical project scope of work. The required competency and skills would typically have been built up working for a consultant engineering company, or end user company.
