Title

Engineering Team Lead (Nuclear)

A career at KBR can change the world — and change your life. If you’re ready, let’s get started.

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.

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Team Lead to lead a multi-disciplinary team supporting the ongoing safety, integrity and performance of critical nuclear infrastructure.

You will be responsible for leading engineering activities associated with design change, engineering substantiation and assurance of Nuclear Safety Implicated Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs).

Working within a highly regulated environment, you will ensure engineering solutions remain compliant with regulatory requirements, design intent and nuclear safety standards while providing technical leadership across a range of complex engineering activities

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.
