About the Opportunity
KBR delivers science, technology and engineering solutions to governments and companies worldwide. With approximately 37,000 employees across more than 85 countries and operations in over 28 countries, KBR supports technology, value-added services, and long-term operations and maintenance to drive consistent delivery with predictable results.
Trinzic is planned as an independent company through the planned spin-off of KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business in January 2027. The team focuses on delivering solutions in challenging environments and advancing high-priority national security and space missions. Candidates who join KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business before the spin-off will transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply for employment.
