Graduate Process Engineer 2025
Background
KBR Consulting International draws on a heritage of over thirty-five years specialising in the front-end phases of engineering projects from pre-feasibility, up to and including preliminary Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phases. In addition, we undertake small FEEDs and provide specialist consultancy services for later phases of projects. The front-end nature of the work means that we are often involved in developments in areas and technologies new to the engineering industry.
With clients ranging from large internationals to smaller independent companies, we are currently heavily involved globally in the transition from oil and gas to other sources of energy including hydrogen and ammonia), decarbonisation, production of biofuels and the move towards minimal crewing of offshore production facilities. Other projects include strategy / master plan development (‘Decisioneering’ process), financial modelling, product & energy optimisation, maximising asset performance and petrochemical integration.
Over the years, KBR has provided support for some of the largest industry capital investments in modern times. Moreover, KBR has acted as lender’s advisor on well over 200 projects for a broad range of clients and financial institutions across many sectors including upstream and downstream oil and gas, specialty chemicals, mining, biofuels, pulp and paper, power, and general infrastructure.
The process engineering team is at the heart of the design of the project. Process engineers use their technical expertise and problem-solving skills to find optimum technical solutions whilst working alongside other engineering disciplines to ensure a robust, economic and safe design.
Process Engineers gain exposure to a range of hydrocarbon processing technologies on these projects, including in many cases state-of-the art design approaches. The process engineering discipline covers a wide variety of tasks from simulation of processes through to specifying the details of equipment and piping items.
