KBR Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

Gregg Pryor in Dade, Florida said: The only jobs that I am aware of for KBR (contract wise) is the DoS contract which has a ceiling on the number of foreigners employed. Bare minimum at most. Otherwise, I think KBR is pretty much out of the game for anything in IQ...

There are others that are coming on line sir. I don't know everything but there folks who claim to hire and know everything.

What if any effects will the US pulling out of Iraq have on Logcap now?

jazzymarie said: What if any effects will the US pulling out of Iraq have on Logcap now?

None, still have the DOS contracts and a few others coming on line.

I've seen AFCAP job posting for KBR in the UAE...does anyone have details as far as pay and living conditions. Job postings right here in Indeed.

USMI in Houston, Texas said: Viper, your either the most naive person in country or just a plain old fool. I am working here at the command center and I really want to know where you are getting your information from? We have already laid out all the planes for closures, identified the stay behind personnel and to this "dream" of other things coming on line just plainly perplexes me. You must be a newbie from Houston and being told a line of BS by a supervisor trying to keep you from jumping ship before you can. I really am curious to thje info and source of your info.

Not naive just on the ground unlike you command center yeah right. You guys are trying to drive the ship from the Green zone or whereever you may say to be. No not a newbie but someone with some sense unlike yourself. You speak like you are running things. If you come over here and get your boots dirty you might find out a thing or 2. Not giving you my source of information. Last thing, no my supervisor has given a line of dung unlike yourself. Keep believing what they are giving you, if the time lines are changing as fast as wind blows. How would know about who is staying and who's going. Keep trying sell that line of junk to somebody else who believes you. Not me buddy!!!!

Of course i see how people are headed for the exit because they have other offers. Yes i know the Descope has begun and at an even faster pace. I may not be in the sand at the moment but i do know what's going on. More that 50 if the charter or transportation was more reliable it would be more. No sorry not going to any hill, long way from Texas. Before you know it you will be one of those 50 per day.

Pat, I am leaving, voluntarily I might add, after seven +years over here. I don't know where you are but it apparently is not in country and I doubt you would ever be invited back. Yes, I was orginally leaving in Nov however, will stay around until the Dec time frame as I was asked to. No one has other offers....they are going home and there is panic all around for some. I highly doubt you'll ever be coming back here or elsewhere with the attitude naivety you have displayed. Good luck anyways

oh i guess you figure i could not come back. Well you don't really know who you are talking to but for GP i will just tell you this much. I come and go as needed. Well i am not as doom and gloom as you are. I was asked to stay but i was needed at home. If that is case of not being asked back then, why would they be calling weekly wanting me to come back? Anyway, good luck to you future opportunities. Maybe if you check the way you talk to people you would probably be picked up by LC IV. Think about it who you have ticked off and that is the reason you are leaving in December or possible earlier. Good Luck to you too. Another thing if you were not blogging instead of doing you job you would not have any issues.

I am also going over to another project with KBR in another foreign region of the world...where all these "new jobs" coming on-line are - few and far between for laborers like your self and I don't mean that in a disrespectful tone however, you have proven yourself as a, what we KBR vets call..."idiots". I highly doubt we will meet up unless I stop by home.

Unless your a person of "stature" which is apparent you are not...your not coming back and keepcalling your friends here down range finding out what is going on....are you really for real? And yes, we all have a lot of "free time" on our hands to blog. My gosh, you must work TTM or something...

LOL, you don't know me from adam Tess, so please go bother someone else and no i don't call anyone they call me. I am more real than you think. I am about ready for bed, i have to start work early.

i know the drawdown is near but kbr is still hiring for IQ. MAYBE FOR NEW JOBS COMING UP. they have got to have something. their just not going to shut their doors and go home.

DESERT RAT said: i know the drawdown is near but kbr is still hiring for IQ. MAYBE FOR NEW JOBS COMING UP. they have got to have something. their just not going to shut their doors and go home.

I'm confused, why start processing and then withdraw an offer, due to drawdown? I'm not familiar with IQ, or DOS terms. Are they hiring for LOGCAP IV. The offer they withdrew was for LOGCAP III, and that is just strange to me. All of this happend two weeks ago.

did you withdraw an offer with kbr.i just thought that they would not leave iq right away. they are going to need somebody over there to keep maintenance on the bases that are not closing. because everybody is jumping ship from what i have been reading. maybe i am just taking it wrong.i am waiting on fav. adj. with fluor. if that don`t work out i am going to try KBR or DYNCORP. I am going to work for one of them.

You are better of going to one of their job fair and taking all your paper work. there you will meet with the recruiters for specfic jobs. and all the details of what goes on oversea, what to take and what not to take.

Mr.ksniper, do they offer medical jobs overseas?

candy corn in Houston, Texas said: Mr.ksniper, do they offer medical jobs overseas?

Check the website and apply. Ksniper is somewhere in West Africa working for a joint venture with a major contractor and a mining company. Not sure how good his internet is but i keep in touch with him from time to time.

Very interesting comments over the last 6 months! I was in Iraq, then spent the last year in Afghanistan, but I have the bug after being home for 6 months, not so much to be herded and sequestered in FOB's etc...But I'm sure some can agree, it's like a drug!! I have the itch again. I came home to a good job (luckily) but I started looking 2 months before I made the decision to demob after 2 years, but I'm restless!! I need any info you guys or gals have on ITT in Qatar, I was contacted recently by the recruiter, then the in country manager, but would like some inside info before I take it further, so far it's just been emails,It's for a supervisory position but I'm sure the pay is less, any idea on the living conditions, R&R's, where and how you deploy from the states? I think this could be a fun deployment, with the ability to roam the cities and towns, and take in the culture. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I have been on and off since 2007, and the bug may be back!!

Hey pit viper, I know K sniper very well, we worked together in Iraq, I was wondering where he vanished to, he feel off the earth, I'm glad he's well, like him this S#$T is addictive!

Thanks!

Hello,
I my husband is working in camp prosperity. I haven't had a chance to really talk to him because of the bad phone lines. Do you by any chance have the zip code So I can write and send him a package for thanksgiving. Thank you

Candy corn, not a chance anyone will give you the zip, sorry thats opsec.

To all looking for employment, KBR is not hiring from outside for the new contract, unless its some specialty they need. They are sending people home daily, I am in country currently. All hiring is done from within, they have most all hires preselected and are giving contracts daily, they have already issued over 1,000. Try with Dyncorp or Flour in Afghan, or others. Most contracts are paying less, so the glory days are pretty much over, unless you have a specialty skill set. The DOS contract is paying much less, its not worth a lot of peoples time to be away from family in a war zone for $70,000 a year.

@ ksniper777, Thank you for your info, and time.

Hey Salt,

Candy, I hope your not serious as mail as or will be stopping in the next few days. Everyone who isn't staying has already sent their belongings off. I'm sure your husband told you, as we have had the Blue Border alerts out for awhile now. Prosperity????It's gone or soon to be. Are you sure he isn't in Thai laying low?

Mr.Ksniper777,
Thank you for your time. My husband isn't in camp prosperty.my mistake, And I don't know what you're trying to tell me. But take care. And thanks again.

Girl, I think he was trying to tell you postal services are over with. Everyone in country knows about it. Didn't your husband tell you? My Husband is on the closeout teams and first Prosperity is gone and over with it. I think, I don't believe it was KSNIPE, but USMI who said your husband might not be telling you everything you need to know. I think, he meant or she for that matter, is he's not in country anymore and hanging out in another country. Who really knows anymore. So many contractors are leaving or so I'm told by people in country it's mind boggling...

Your really not that naive are you? Your husband would have already been informed if he's on the stay behind DoS contract. Which is highly doubtful form the way you have asked your questions. There is less than 500 U.S. personnel staying behind and those are seeing their slaries decrease by over 60% Most are not willing to even stay on for the new living conditions, statements of work and lack of protection being affored. I really don't be;ieve your husband hasn't told you anything????

Mr. ksniper777, I told you I made a mistake, Cause I have already spoke to him.And I know, what I need to know.You don't have to be so rude to me. for asking a question. thank you for your time.

You, whoever you are,I wasn't talking to you. I addressed it to Mr.Ksniper777. Thank you very much.

Greetings from Annex Prosperity.

Prosperity is not going away. As a matter of fact it is the SCW
main hub of the Green Zone.

There are closer to 2000 DOS Logcap IV KBR employees than 500.
And as a matter of fact the salaries are being cut at a rate
closer to 10% than 60%

Just wanted to straighten out the misconceptions.

Thank you for those sweet words.God bless you

@ candy corn Ksniper is currently in Africa and does not log on here much. Not sure why you are trying to talk to him but i will ask him to come here to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I will see if he will answer his cell.

Not sure why you are accusing me of being rude to you since it has been awhile since i logged in. Pit just called me and said need to address an issue. Reading back at what you have written asking for a zip code is a OPSEC violation. If your loved one has not provided that information to you then asking for it on an unsecured forum is not a good idea. If i need to start deleting post i will. Thank you for your question.

Best Regards,

Ksniper.

No thanks I already got all the info I need

Mr. Ksniper777, Iam sorry didn't know you were no answering questions. didn't mean to offend you in any way. And I don't why that person even bothered you with my question. all he had to say you were nolonger available and leave it at that. I apologize again.

candy corn in Houston, Texas said: No thanks I already got all the info I need

You certainly did get information, didn't you?

Folks looks like i have to start showing up more often, Beekeeper please do not bring this to the forum if someone else wants that information go find it. It will not orginated on this forum. I have other options i can use and i would hate to do that to other folks that use this forum for informational purpose. thanks.

No i don't work for KBR anymore but i still have a lot of folks that are associated with the company and other ventures they are bidding to provide support for the client. There are some folks who try and identify me with Pit Viper, i know him personally, now SM Wife since no one really visits this site any longer i can lock this topic. But for those who still like to research for information i don't want to hurt there chances of employment. Considered yourself muted. If you post do not meet the forum rules it will be deleted. Thanks

hay Ksniper777 how are you ?

I've applie dfor several "admin" jobs last week through KBR andITT. Just curious as to what my chances are of obtaining an administrative/secretarial position in the middle east? I have 10+ years of office management and property management experience, some college and are proficient in all MS and accounting applications and softwares.
any input/advice is greatly appreciated.

You are going to need to broaden your company search, KBR's share of the contracting world has significantly decreased in the last couple of years. Fluor, DynCorp, Honeywell hold sizabele contracts, you may want to apply with them also.

I work in Logistics/Supply Chain. Can you give me a contact for a recruiter at KBR?

YolZet said: I applied in the middle on April on the KBR website and got an e-mail from a recruiter 2 weeks later about a Logistics position. Then I had a phone interview a week later. I got offered the job at 100K per year. Now I'm just waiting for my security clearance to be transfered from the military. He told me that I will leave in about 4 weeks to Iraq.

Can you give me the contact info for your recruiter? I am interested in working overseas.

bluecamel in Doha, Qatar said: i really enjoy reading all the speculation about KBR from individual that have never worked for the company. i have been with KBR for just over 4 years. i spent the first 3 years in Iraq (transportation dept) climbed the corporate ladder to upper managemnt and now work with KBR and Shell on the largest construction project in the world.

there are a few contract companies that pay a little more starting out, but the chance for advancement and to make it a career are very slim with those other companies.

I am making almost $165,000 a year and work 8 weeks on 18 days off. I defie anyone to tell me that is not a good job.

Goodbye Guys, demobbed today and am enroute to Afghanistan.
