Full Job Description

Title:

Nuclear Safety Case Engineer

KBR’s Infrastructure Solutions business employs over 1,400 people across Australia. Our strong project delivery record, industry reputation and trusted partnerships have driven significant growth, creating outstanding career development and project opportunities for our people.

We’re known for our collaborative “One Team” culture and our commitment to working closely with clients and construction partners to achieve exceptional results. Our open, inclusive environment ensures people are valued, supported and able to thrive. By joining KBR, you become part of a team that works together, shares common values and is united in delivering great outcomes.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of one of the most strategically significant engineering programmes in Australia's history.

KBR Infrastructure Solutions Australia, in partnership with Frazer-Nash Consultancy, is seeking experienced Nuclear Safety Case Engineers to join Australia's largest industry team of Nuclear Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (NSQEP). This is not routine infrastructure work it is nation-building engineering of the highest order.

The Opportunity

Under AUKUS Pillar 1, Australia is on a defined path to acquiring and operating a fleet of conventionally armed, Nuclear-Powered Submarines (NPS). Delivering that capability safely and on schedule demands world-class nuclear safety expertise and that is precisely what our team provides.

You will work directly alongside government and defence stakeholders to deliver nuclear safety informed design processes for naval nuclear facilities and infrastructure across Australia. The work is technically demanding, nationally critical, and professionally rewarding in equal measure.

Our team has been intentionally built and now represents the deepest concentration of nuclear safety expertise in Australian industry. You would be joining and shaping that capability at a defining moment in its growth.

What You Will Do

Lead and contribute to nuclear safety cases for complex naval nuclear infrastructure
Apply deterministic safety analysis methodologies to generate safety requirements and inform the design process
Engage with licensing and regulatory frameworks governing nuclear-powered naval operations
Produce and review technical design substantiation documentation to the standard demanded by nuclear regulation
Mentor and develop the next generation of Australian NSQEP

What We Offer

Structured development. We have invested in building genuine internal training and mentoring capability. If you come from a high-hazard regulated industry: oil and gas, conventional defence, aviation, or similar; and are seeking a transition into the nuclear domain, we have the infrastructure to support that pathway. We are actively seeking candidates with that profile.

Scale and variety. With projects spanning Canberra, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane, we offer geographic flexibility while maintaining access to a nationally connected, highly experienced team.

Significance. Few engineering roles offer the combination of technical rigour, regulatory complexity, and strategic national importance that this programme demands. Your work will directly enable Australia's sovereign nuclear submarine capability.

What We Are Looking For

Essential

Established experience across the following disciplines:
Safety-informed design process
Deterministic Safety Analysis
Regulation and licensing
Technical design substantiation
Engineering degree or equivalent relevant qualification
Eligibility to obtain and maintain an Australian Defence security clearance

Desirable

Experience in high-hazard industries operating under formal regulatory regimes
Direct experience with nuclear-powered submarine programmes
Involvement in the delivery of nuclear facilities or infrastructure
Background in Defence project delivery

A Note to Career-Changers

If your career has been spent in a regulated, high-hazard environment - and you have the analytical rigour, safety discipline, and professional credibility that entails - we want to hear from you. Nuclear safety expertise is built, not simply recruited. We have the capability to develop the right people, and we actively encourage applications from those ready to make that transition.

At KBR, we value you – here’s how.

While our people are busy delivering leading science, technology, and engineering solutions, we’re committed to providing them with a supportive, trusting environment and benefits that enable them to thrive and continue doing what they do best.

Benefits include:

Industry leading salaries reviewed annually.
20 Days of annual leave per year + the ability to accrue an additional 8 hours every 4 weeks (33 days in total)
Flexible work arrangements (start/finish times, WFH, Flex time)
Salary packaging and novated leases
Paid professional membership fees
Life/Health insurance discounts
Employee stock purchase plans
Personal career development plans
Growth and promotion opportunities
Great office environment with fantastic facilities
Access to health benefits programs

Help shape tomorrow by applying today!

Our people are the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to creating work environments in which every member of our team of teams feels safe, supported, respected, trusted and valued, and where each person is given opportunities to belong, connect and grow.
