The KBR team of teams delivers future-forward science, technology and engineering solutions and mission-critical services that help governments and companies around the world accomplish their most important objectives, while also helping achieve their sustainability goals.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Commercial Manager on the contract delivery side of the business, with the occasional opportunity to support new bid activities. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where you will play a pivotal role to help drive value, manage commercial risk, and establish strong contractual foundations for project success.

  • Identify opportunities to improve profitability, operational efficiency, and customer value.
  • Manage commercial risks and ensure appropriate mitigation measures are in place.
  • Build and maintain strong customer and internal stakeholder relationships.
  • Ensure contractual obligations are clearly understood and effectively managed.
  • Collaborate with operational teams to ensure successful contract delivery including providing commercial guidance to project teams.
  • Work closely with finance teams to ensure accurate revenue recognition, cost control, forecasting and support business planning and budgeting activities.
  • Ensure all commercial activities comply with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies.
  • Support audit requirements and risk management processes.
  • Control and manage variations, change events, and contract administration processes including development of pricing.
  • Support continuous improvement of commercial processes and governance frameworks.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
