At KBR, our people are our most valuable asset; we want them to thrive and succeed in all aspects of their lives. We aim for every person who joins our team to feel safe, supported, valued and included so we can all thrive and continue doing what we do best.
John Perrott, Civil Discipline Manager: “Our culture is the key to what makes working at KBR so great. We work hard to foster a positive, welcoming culture, and we make a conscious decision to bring people into the business who align with these values. This results in having a tight knit team who all get along and enjoy the work they do. But it’s not just about having fun – we believe that a strong culture enables better performance. Knowing your team has your back and that the weight of a project doesn’t solely rest on your shoulders is everything. Belonging to a team you can depend on means you have the support to test new ideas, be more innovative, and ultimately deliver the best result for the customer.”

We are a people company — great people doing great things, and we create conditions where everybody can flourish. We foster a culture of inclusivity, caring and learning that is driven by our shared purpose.
With the feel of an agile company and the capability of a large global company, we encourage and give our people the autonomy to strive for opportunities that exist in all directions and equip them with the tools and knowledge to reach their full potential.
Matthew Garrett, Project Coordinator: “I know it sounds like a cliché, but KBR really does have some of the friendliest people, who are professionally curious and are always ready to both help and learn. There’s a group of around 40 of us in the Perth office who’ve signed up to do S30 classes - a fusion of weight training and cardio at a local gym. The classes are on daily, and on any given day there's between 2-10 of us at a class. It’s a great way to connect with colleagues outside of the traditional work setting, and get fit in the process.”

At KBR, we are dedicated to providing the resources and learning opportunities to support your career journey. We believe each employee has a unique skill set to offer, are continuously enriching our approach and offerings to support the growth of our people. Whether you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned professional looking to enhance your technical capabilities or move into leadership, we are here to help you grow and thrive at KBR.
Gail Geurzon, Graduate Civil Engineer: “Working at KBR has given me opportunities to solve complex challenges that require innovative thinking and technical expertise – far above what I would have expected this early in my career. KBR’s grad mentoring program has given me the support I need to approach challenging situations with more confidence, and reflect on my strengths and areas for improvement to ensure my continued career growth.”

Benefits
At KBR we value our employees and their lives outside of work. We have a variety of flexible work options that help you relax, recover and take time for the things that matter most. Options such as:
- A flexible work schedule – We trust you to get the job done on a schedule that works for you, your manager, and the clients you support. A non-standard work schedule may be provided to you with the ability to flex your work schedule (with manager approval, of course).
- An agile working week (AWW) – To help you with work/life balance, KBR offers the opportunity to take accrued time off each month, totalling up to 13 additional leave days per year
- Annual leave options – We offer up to 20 days of paid leave annually so you can connect with loved ones, serve your community, relax, unplug, and stay well. But if you would prefer to work, you have the option to cash out instead of taking leave if you have more than four weeks accrued. You also have the option to purchase additional annual leave should you require extra time off.
- Primary and secondary carer parental leave – Becoming a parent is an exciting step for families, and KBR recognises the importance of parent-child bonding. KBR provides up to 12 weeks’ paid primary carer leave, or 24 weeks continuation at 50% of salary to help with the transition. Plus when you return, you’ll receive continued flexibility through our flexible working options so you can deliver your work and meet new family obligations. For secondary carer leave, KBR offers 2 weeks continuation of salary, which can be taken at a specified period within the first 12 months of the birth or adoption.
- Corporate discounts and financial benefits – KBR offers a range of corporate discounts on a variety of items and experiences, such as healthcare insurance, gym memberships, computers, and more; as well as novated leases, an employee stock purchase plan, bonuses and awards, and much, much more.
James Rose is the Sustainability Manager for the Woodside Pluto Train 1 Scarborough Modification Project, and has been with KBR for a year: “With four young daughters, my life is very hectic, but working flexibly allows me to support both my family in the mornings and afternoons when I’m needed at home, while also working with colleagues in various time zones around the world. Having the ability to work remotely is core to the success of my role, as well as my ability to support my family. I’m trusted and empowered to work when it suits me, allowing me to find a great balance between work and home life.”
