When you become part of our KBR team, your opportunities are endless. Through internal collaboration, and with our partners and customers, we're defining tomorrow's challenges, then providing the innovative solutions to overcome those challenges, always maintaining our commitment to Zero Harm and our Sustainability Platform.

In September 2025, we announced that we are spinning our Mission Technology Solutions business into a separate public company. This role would ultimately be part of that new company. Our Mission Technology Solutions business partners with governments and defense, intelligence, space, aviation, and critical infrastructure customers to deliver high-end engineering, science, technology, and mission support solutions. From national security and readiness to advanced research, cyber, logistics, and life-cycle sustainment, our teams help customers solve complex challenges in some of the world's most demanding environments. Whether supporting operations on the ground, at sea, in the air, or in space, our clients trust us to deliver mission-critical capabilities every day.

Working with us means being rewarded for your contributions. In addition to competitive benefits and professional development, our people are empowered to use all their potential, creating meaningful change for themselves and our clients. We attract the best minds in the world because our expertise thrives on creativity, resourcefulness and collaboration. That is how we supply our clients with cutting-edge solutions.

As the needs of the world change, we're ready to respond and guide the way forward with strategic, sustainable, and technological advancements grounded in more than a century of practical application and execution.

We are IT

We are strategic enablers of the business, delivering scalable, secure, and innovative technology solutions that drive operational excellence and support enterprise growth. We partner closely with functions across the organization to modernize systems, unlock data-driven insights, and enhance the digital employee experience. Our global footprint and commitment to transformation position us at the forefront of leveraging technology to create lasting business value.

  • Ability to document support activities accurately and follow established support procedures.

Core Competencies:

  • Excellent customer service, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams across multiple regions and time zones.
