Our People
Our people are the heart of KBR
As the foremost experts in their respective fields, they are doing things that matter to the rest of the world, whether preparing astronauts for space exploration, supporting military operations that keep whole nations safe, or developing solutions that are making the energy industry cleaner and more sustainable for future generations.
We do it all in a way that promotes safety and social and environmental sustainability, because we believe that doing good business also means doing what’s right for our planet, our communities and our people.
Amy Needham – Programme and Project Partners (PPP) Resourcing Intern
Amy, 19, joined the Programme and Project Partners internship scheme in February 2021 after leaving school a year earlier and struggling to find the right career opportunity locally.
“After finding the PPP internship opportunities advertised through the Job Centre, my work coach informed me that they were really good opportunities - so I applied,” said Amy.
“After being accepted onto the scheme and completing a four-week virtual skills academy to prepare me for the workplace, I was interviewed and successfully appointed to the role.”
Amy started the resourcing internship in April 2021 and is employed by KBR as part of the Programme and Project Partners model which is changing the way major projects are delivered at Sellafield and creating a lasting legacy through long-term partnerships. Key to this legacy is providing rewarding career opportunities to people in the local community.
Amy is one of six interns who joined the partnership in April as part of PPP’s first ever intern cohort and is already making the most of opportunities on PPP. Initially Amy considered a social impact role but after hearing more about all of the available internships she opted for a role in resourcing. Amy said: “My aim is to make sure I get everything I can out of this experience.” Now, seven months into her internship, Amy is part of the resourcing and talent team on PPP and already supporting the partners to recruit the talent they need to complete their transformation of Sellafield Ltd and create a clean and safe environment for future generations.
