Apply for KBR’s 2025 Project Delivery Graduate Scheme today!
With over 33,000 employees across 34 countries, KBR delivers consulting, technology, and engineering solutions to clients in a wide range of sectors from aerospace and defence, to infrastructure and intelligence.
KBR’s Projects and Programmes Division serves the defence, government, nuclear, and critical national infrastructure markets. Improving UK Naval Base facilities, decommissioning major nuclear sites and building beautiful new spaces in the Middle East are just a few examples of the diverse work we do.
Our scheme
Our two-year Project Delivery Graduate Scheme offers four rotations (each six months) on active defence, government and nuclear projects, and in vital project support functions.
Project rotations frequently involve our Graduates relocating to new places. We handle your travel arrangements and cover the costs, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the project experience without any worries.
Rotations are an exciting blend of on-the-job experience and building your knowledge of project delivery.
You will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary and joining bonus, and a meaningful benefits package.
Your profile
Remember… you are more than your degree!
You will bring with you an inquisitive nature, problem solving skills, enthusiasm, and the drive to make the world a better place. Literally.
Enjoying being part of a team and helping others is essential, as is the ability to use your own initiative and confidently work independently. You will have a proactive approach to seeking out opportunities and bringing fresh ideas and innovative solutions to the table.
Our graduate selection process
We expect you to have recently achieved, or are on track to achieve, a 2:1 degree or above in any subject.
Due to the sensitive nature of some of our business areas and projects, you will be required to undergo Security Vetting. To be eligible for the Clearance required, you must be a UK National and have lived and worked in the UK for the last 5 years. Regretfully, we cannot offer visa sponsorship.
We thoroughly review all candidate applications, proceed to shortlisting through phone screenings, and conclude with an in-person Assessment Centre at our Surrey offices. Our Assessment Centres feature a one-on-one interview, a group activity with other candidates and delivering your own pre-prepared presentation. The first of our Assessment Centres will be held in early December 2024.
We would like you to be willing to travel or potentially relocate for 6-month rotations in other areas of the UK, including Portsmouth, Warrington, Cumbria and Glasgow.
Meeting you in person is a terrific way for us to get to know you and we can help you discover why KBR is a Great Place to Work.
What’s it like being a Graduate at KBR?
KBR Graduates begin their career in our Surrey office, a collaborative setting where you can build relationships with colleagues and make full use of our modern facilities. Meet your Graduate Scheme Manager, Line Manager, Buddy and Mentor, who will give you the tools and support needed to excel on your KBR journey.
Our vibrant Early Careers community will welcome you and invite you to learning events, socials, site trips and more! You can meet colleagues from around the business through KBR’s employee groups that champion inclusion, diversity, equality and wellbeing.
Get involved with our Support groups that give back to our local community, like KBR One Ocean, where we go into local schools to deliver fun and educational sessions on reducing plastics in our oceans. You can even join the students at beach cleans!
Graduates bring fresh perspectives, which can become the driving force behind business improvements, and we fully appreciate your value. We empower you to collaborate closely with senior leaders to be the voice of change, bringing transformation to life through real company initiatives.
What can you achieve at KBR?
Your journey to grow as a Project Delivery Professional empowers you to truly own your own learning and growth. Track your development with competencies in a range of areas including Project Management, Business Development and Digital Transformation.
Using the knowledge and experience you will gain from project and business rotations; we will support you in achieving the industry-recognised Project Management Qualification from the APM (Association for Project Management).
As you near the completion of your Scheme, we assist you in securing a long-term position with us, whether that involves joining one of our diverse projects or focusing on a specialised business area.
Your future is with KBR.
