LOGCAP IV INFO

Staples and CAG what jobs did you apply for? I am only curious.

ITT is the one's who pay 4200 per RR. Thats because they dont pay you any hourly pay while youre on RR. Fluor pays you 3600 but also pays you 8 hours a day at 80% uplift for 9 days. Also, with Fluor you can go on your first RR after 45 days, but you only get paid for 4 or 5 days of the 9 because you only earned half of the days paid. Make sense ? Basically, for every month you work, you get a certain amount of hours earned paid time off (RR) . And for ITT, you get the 4200 whether you go on rr or not. With Fluor, you HAVE to take the RR to get the 3600. If you do not go on RR with Fluor, you do not get the 3600.

Thank you that whats I was wanting to explain about 4200.00. I confirmed with hubby and it is 3600.00 for RR pay with Fluor. And 45 days for first RR is for those in the transition- u know who were coming up on one with KBR but missed out--you knwo where just shy of leaving for a RR with KBR. Direct hires its, 91 days overseas before you can take your first RR. In fact they--fluor-- have the days down to a science as far as the 'soonest' when you can take each RR in your yr. Yes, you can delay it--take em later if you like. But as Kevndev mentioned you do have to take your RR--leave country- to get your RR pay with Fluor. Best of luck everyone.

alright, were did you hear 45 days and you could go on RR with fluor.. becuase in setting in greenville right now. and have been told only after 91 days you are able to take RR, Yes there is a slow down in the hiring right now. Fluor is doing things right. and on top of it they are making damn sure poeple are who they say they are, I have been here seven weeks. and im waiting on the cac card and fingure prints. I have worked with Kbr and have had a cac card. with fluor it does not matter you will go threw this again. And thoughs who want phone numbers and emails. that will not help you get in the door.. TRUST ME. All i can tell you is make something stand out on your resume. there are hundreds of pep putting in. fluor is not running peps threw here like cattle. its taking time. there calling and hiring as they clear greenville. give them time. i went threw a waiting game too.. and im here and still waiting..lol

Here's a little update on my status. I'm suppose to be going to greenville on the 10th of April now. I'm starting to get kinda worried because the date is getting pushed back. The bad thing about this process is after you get hired and do MDC, you don't hear from them in weeks.

Also, to add on to what he's saying. I think you also have to tweek your resume to fit the job your applying for. When I had my resume posted I had everything viewable such as my passport and my dd214 that says I have a honorable discharge.

Daneris Cruz in Milford, New Hampshire said: Staples and CAG what jobs did you apply for? I am only curious.

I applied for Fuels Operator, and food service anything.

yes, we are paired up.. staples... have you tried the virtual recruiter? seems to help.

Yeah I went on there earlier this month spoke to a recruiter. He setup a time to call me the next day I guess I passed since he said he will forward to a hiring manager, but still no word.

anybody got any info on electricians jobs with fluor Iraq or Afghanastan Im in Iraq noe with KBR but am interested in Fluor since they seem to have a better grasp on things and KBR seems to be getting pushed out

OK so how do you explain, the people that was recruited from other country like the Balkan, practically, that wasnt the case for the balkans, people who had no experience at all was hired. And they were shipped immediately to Afghan, the Americans had to go through a lot of waiting. Some of the positions were given like candies, ask any balkan person who is hired now and ask if they had to wait for their sf85 and fingerprinting,i didnt think they had to wait like any applicants here. Its all double standard but hey you all play a in it.

I applied for Document Data Tech II.

tony, you need to spread the news to your friends at flour about this site , so they can give it to the wives and family and friends.

Hey Koko, So glad Tony and a friend we all know from the KBR forum built this site. I love the KBR forum and think this forum will be really helpful to new hires for Flour. I dont see too many spouses on this forum. I guess because its new, it will take some time to grow. Tony has been South Carolina now since Feb 13. and is still waiting to be sent to Afg. He is really enjoying the processing and meeting all kinds of people. I wish he could be home, but I think he is really going to adapt to the big change.

Does anyone know if DynCorp is hireing people from the Balkans for Afgan.

Yes they are.

Best recommendation is you just keep applying for the positions on their site as they open up. If you are in Afghanistan already--they are in the mist of the transitioning KBR personal and appear to be taking on current KBR employees over there–those that want to come on board–and processing them over there–in afghanistan. And as others here mentioned they are taking people stateside on board too but its taking time for them to get em in and out of Greenville.

Best of Luck.

Nope not a lot of Fluor wives on board yet gal--though some of them do lurk exclusively--and Kathy's on board--her hubby recently transitioned over there. Glad Toni is liking the process. And yeah "the boys" seem to click pretty good that way. Did Toni enjoy his time home? And are you keeping busy with your coaching and grandkids?

when you go to GV what all do you do there? I know they do a background check is that just for criminal record or are they going to do more then that?How long does it take for it all to clear? Also some people got paperwork in the mail to turn in did it just come or did they tell you they were mailing it out to you?

Did you get an April 10th date after the hire and paperwork? Or is that the tenative date they gave you during the interview/hire? MDC is in Greenville, and from what I understand they are backed up due to high number of people they're hiring and total personell being sent overseas.

That's the Tenative date. I've received some paper work in the mail about getting my finger prints but nothing else. Are you going through the same thing?

Daneris Cruz in Milford, New Hampshire said: Lol that is exactly what I was thinking!! Yeah you are either very lucky, have a great resume, in demand rare skills, or some combination of these. It seems few people ever get to the stage of "under review" for more then the few seconds it takes them to change the status to "no longer under consideration".

Hey there Dennis. I have a situation to where I have four 'under review' status which one been there since 20 Jan. I actually have and 'Under Consideration' there too, since yesterday. Not sure how long they stay in that status until it changes. Lance says they are ready to call but I hear different stories saying the opposite as well. I do feel better what Proleter said though-my resume has been actually touched, seen or smelled by a recruiter. Should I rename my resume scratch and sniff ? j/k

whats happens with under review is chirs, is that whenever they either look at or pull your resume, it automatically goes under review. in other words they could have just looked at it and moved on,not necessarily meaning their going to call you. i personally had a recruiter pull my resume,that was over a month ago, i'm still under review, so go figure!

tstorm in Plan said: former bosnian from my camp messaged me. he is processing in Tuzla in a logistics job and has zero experience in it. He is lazy worthless but has family in higher up positions with former KBR now FLUOR in afgan. its bs if u ask me

couldnt agree more im in iraq right now and have had enough of these guys from the balkens walking all over the place getting away with anything they want and having absolutaly no qualifications whatsoever to do anything

This is the guy who didn't had a job for 8 months, 6 months ago and wasn't choosy about getting in KBR. 6 months later you can't even finish your contract with KBR and you are looking for job with Fluor. And you have Balkans to blame for your failures. What does this tells about you?
In such a short post you managed to make 6 spelling errors.

Kind of. Post your email and I will chat with you there. Depending on the demand of your position the wait can be lengthy and patience is a needed virtue. If you have a good recruiter, which I feel I do, then it helps.

Koko, I am so darn busy with the grandkids. I really have so many, I dont ever usually get a break. Glad we are still chating away on the forums.

In Greenville, there will be more Paperwork and classes, and training on their laptops--thier software. How long it takea for the background and the public trust depends on how busy they are. I beleive currently there is a back-log so that's causing hold ups. Have to get the all clear to get your CAC so you can travel. My husband did this over 6 mths ago so some things may have changed--they emailed all paperwork to him. But he did not do fingerprints at "home", he did it there, so seems as if now some "stuff" is coming in the mail--or email--but you need to mail/ fax/ and or scan it back. Best of luck.

A similar concern about background checks on the KBR forum. I'd like to know how different or if same type of background checks for certian or all positions at Fluor. From what I read from other posts at the KBR forum, only mail services and security get a background and credit check and must not be in bad debt. Is this the same with Fluor?

So is having a status "under consideration", which I do since Friday is more promising then? I have read conflicting stories what other members have experienced with "under consideration" status. Not sure if I should hold my breath or not. But I have my fingers crossed and hoping for the best though..and still applying.....

Everyone gets background checks. Its part of the process and qualifications for a CAC. Yes some positions--check and qualifications for-- are more rigid than others. Mail clerk and security are two such for obvious reasons. Best of luck.

thanks for the info.

Chris Twopher in Fremont, California said: Thanks, Koko...

One thing I might mention is that Fluor or for that matter any other overseas contracting company does not do the actually background checks, or the SP85F–they simply see that these things are completed, corrections made as needed and they are submitted to the proper authorities. So delays are strictly speaking not their responsibility. They assist in getting the info in but like you, they have to wait for their return and or the process of to be completed. Best of luck.

I have worked in an oil and gas company for over 20+ years. Within the last year are so I worked for an oil and gas company as a lead. I had a new manager who just came aboard no nothing about my work since she just came to the comapany in Feb. 2009. I was fired in Aug 2009, because she says I didn't meet her expectations. My question is on my application should I tell Fluor I was fired and the reason for or should I just tell them I was laid off. It seems as though when a company sees that you were fired they look at you in a different aspect. Any suggestons when you're fired what to tell Fluor.

Hi,

Best policy is always honestly. And they can, will and do check with former employers. There are however ways– better words of getting you point across than say “ fired”. You may want to try something to the effect of ‘dismissed or terminated, with an explanation to the effect of; ‘Company downsized due to management changes.’ You are being honest in that a new manager came in and decided you did meet with their expectations. Best of luck.

anybody else here apply for a fuels job? if so have you heard anything about them getting people out there or time it would take? Thanks

sorry didnt know that spelling counted on here but since I suppose we should correct your grammatical errors as well. As for looking towards Fluor for a job it never hurts to get as much info about what else is out there cause you never know where you will end up.

I apologize for offending you Matt. And thanks for the advice.

Hi guys this is my first post in the Fluor. When I go to apply for jobs on the Fluor Site all the jobs say

On-site interviewing for this position will take place in the Balkan region. Candidates must be available to interview at the aforementioned location, and must posses the ability to read, write and speak fluent English to be considered.

Are all of the interviews in the Balkans or am I am I not on the wrong search page on the fluor site?

You need to go to fluor.com and click on careers tab then on logcap careers and search all jobs. If someone calls you saying they are a Fluor recruiter and that you need to send them money for processing it's a scam, Fluor does not charge.

they are looking for cheap labor and for folks who will not complain about the living conditions in iraq. Too many expats from the US get over there and quit because of the crappy conditions. that is why they are looking there and it is easier to by pass the CAC card requirements. Just my 2 cents
