Insights

Capital strategy and government-relationship analyst

KBR opens a Rosslyn office to deepen government engagement and hires to support defense and the Golden Dome program.

KBR is expanding its Washington-area footprint with a Rosslyn office announced on Oct. 30, 2025, placing senior executives within minutes of key federal institutions. The move consolidates local presence—the company already lists 37,000 global employees and ~900 in four D.C.-area offices—and signals a deliberate effort to shorten engagement cycles with congressional, executive, and government program offices.

The business mechanism is straightforward: closer proximity and dedicated local leadership typically improve bid coordination, program support, and stakeholder access for government-focused contracts. That said, the announcement cites recruiting and new roles but provides no contract awards, revenue guidance, or hiring timelines; those omissions limit the ability to assess near-term financial impact.

Watch for concrete milestones over the next 6–18 months: published hiring targets or role counts, announced task orders or contract wins tied to the Golden Dome program, and formal updates on the planned Mission Technology Solutions spin-off described in September 2025. These items will determine whether the office yields measurable revenue or remains a strategic positioning exercise.

KBR’s New Northern Virginia Office Will Support Enhanced Service to Government Customers

HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced the opening of a new office in Rosslyn, Virginia, in The Towers at 1100 Wilson Boulevard. The office, five minutes from the Pentagon, 10 minutes from the White House and 15 minutes from the U.S. Capitol building, will allow the company to engage further with congressional and executive stakeholders, in addition to proximity for government customers, including the Department of War and intelligence community, among many others.

The new office marks a critical step for KBR as it increases its commitment to the nation’s capital. The company currently has 37,000 global employees, with approximately 900 employees working across four offices in the Washington, D.C. area, located in Fairfax and Chantilly, Virginia, and Fulton and Lexington Park, Maryland. KBR will have key executive leaders working out of the new Rosslyn office.

“KBR is doubling down on the D.C.-area to better help our government customers solve some of their most complex issues,” said KBR President for Defense, Intel and Space Mark Kavanaugh. “With the government taking on ambitious and critical national security projects like the Golden Dome, private sector support is necessary. KBR stands ready to help execute on these missions.”

In addition to opening its new office, KBR has also started to recruit new hires and create new roles to help boost its continued growth and presence in the D.C. area. KBR expects its new D.C.-area resources will also play a critical role in supporting the administration as it begins to stand up and operationalize the Golden Dome missile defense system, as well as other projects and missions.

In September 2025, KBR announced plans to spin off its Mission Technology Solutions business, which will become a new publicly traded company. It will operate with deep domain expertise and mission-critical capabilities, enabling advantage for government customers globally. It is aligned with high-demand national security and space priorities with growing budgets driven by secular trends.
