Title:Expression of Interest: Engineers Ready to Transition into Nuclear Facility and Infrastructure DesignYour Good Manufacturing Practice Experience Is More Transferable Than You ThinkAt KBR, we deliver science, technology and engineering solutions that help governments and businesses achieve some of their most complex objectives.We are interested in connecting with engineers from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life sciences and other highly regulated industries who may not have previously considered a career in nuclear facility and infrastructure design.As Australia continues to invest in its future nuclear capability through AUKUS and broader sovereign infrastructure programs, we know the nuclear sector cannot rely solely on traditional nuclear talent pools.
However, many of the skills required already exist in adjacent industries.If you've spent your career designing cleanrooms, containment facilities, sterile manufacturing environments, active pharmaceutical ingredient production plants or other high-purity facilities, you've likely already solved many of the same engineering challenges faced within nuclear facility and infrastructure design.The terminology is different, but the engineering discipline is familiar.Why We're Interested in Speaking with YouEngineers from Good Manufacturing Practice environments bring experience in:Contamination control and containment designCleanroom classification and pressure cascade managementVentilation and environmental control systemsRisk-based engineering and structured safety reviewsHighly regulated project environmentsValidation and verification processesQuality management systemsConfiguration and change controlComplex multidisciplinary capital projectsThese same fundamentals are central to the design and delivery of nuclear facilities.You won't be starting from zero.
You'll be applying established engineering instincts in a different context, with support from experienced nuclear specialists (Nuclear Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel)



and structured learning pathways designed to build sector-specific capability over time.Areas of InterestWe're keen to hear from engineers who have experience in:Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilitiesBiotechnology and life sciences infrastructureCleanroom and sterile production environmentsHigh-containment processing facilitiesProcess engineering and facility designHVAC and environmental control systemsChemical and industrial processing facilitiesOther highly regulated engineering environmentsWe are particularly interested in professionals from:Chemical EngineeringProcess EngineeringMechanical EngineeringBuilding Services EngineeringFacilities DesignIndustrial and Manufacturing EngineeringWhat a Transition into Nuclear Could Look Like with KBRDepending on your experience and interests, opportunities may arise across:Nuclear facility designProcess and systems engineeringContainment and ventilation designSafety and risk engineeringDesign integrationInfrastructure and major projects deliveryVerification and validation activitiesTechnical assurance and compliance functionsYou'll work alongside multidisciplinary teams delivering complex, nationally significant infrastructure while developing an understanding of nuclear safety principles, regulatory frameworks and operational requirements.What We're Looking ForWe're interested in hearing from engineers who can demonstrate:Experience designing or delivering facilities within highly regulated industriesFamiliarity with structured risk-review methodologies such as HAZOP, QRM or equivalentA strong appreciation for quality, safety and compliance requirementsExperience operating within controlled-document and audited environmentsCuriosity,



adaptability and a willingness to learnEligibility to work in Australia and the ability to obtain relevant security clearancesWhy Consider Nuclear?
Nuclear infrastructure offers the opportunity to:Apply your existing expertise in a new and growing sectorContribute to nationally significant, long-duration programsWork on complex engineering challenges with a strong safety focusAccess structured technical development and mentoringBuild specialist skills that will be increasingly valuable in Australia's future workforceFor many engineers, the transition is less about learning an entirely new profession and more about learning a new application for skills they already possess.Why KBR?
