Prepare and present clear technical information to clients, stakeholders, and internal teams

Support and mentor graduate engineers

Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in Defence and building infrastructure projects

Maintain strong client relationships through proactive, professional communication

Engage in continuous improvement and stay current with industry standards and technologies

Represent KBR at industry events and contribute technical insights to project and business development activities

What You’ll Bring:

Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering (or equivalent)

Proficiency in structural design and analysis software (e.g., ETABS, SpaceGass or similar)

Knowledge of relevant Australian Standards

Demonstrated ability to deliver engineering work independently within budget and schedule

Experience coordinating smaller projects or work packages

Strong communication skills with the ability to present, collaborate, and tailor messages to different audiences

Problem‑solving mindset with high attention to detail and a commitment to quality

Proactive approach to learning, development, and emerging technologies

Exposure to multidisciplinary environments and client-facing roles (advantageous)

Australian Citizenship (mandatory for Defence project work)
