I'm thinking about accepting job with kbr in iraq. Not sure if I will like it though. Does anyone know if I decide not stay for the year, do I have to pay my own way home? Any other problems if I decide I can't stay the year? |

You can go home anytime you wish.. you dont have to stay for the contract time.. However you will not be hired back if you leave before your contract date.. they are pretty strict on that .. unless you KNOW some one or are in the click, then you can do what you you want but you gotta be hooked up or they will just use ya like an old shoe... just follow their rules which are relentless,and totally goofy, and you should be OK... I was there almost 2 years and did OK.. but it was a challenge trust me.....You work 84 hrs a week and put up with all the BS..That is like having or working 2 40 hr week jobs here....As an electrician here I make almost as much and sleep inmy own bed and dont have to put up with any of the crap you will over there.... Give it some good thought.... |

My husband is an Electrician in Iraq and his worst problem is his lack of materials and supplies needed to get the jobs done. He has been waiting for 2 months for some material they need to get a rather large and important job done. Nothing he can do at this point except sit back and wait. Other than that, he has never had any trouble. He actually says it is not bad and has made lots of friends. The food is terrible (although I know it is not like that every where) the accomodations are not great but are comfortable and the people are really, really nice. He said the only thing stopping him from staying as long as possible are me and our boys. With that said, it cannot be that bad. Good luck to you. |

Dear Matt, I do know of a person's email address who can probably assist you further in this search for overseas employment. His email address is chipsparks@hotmail.com. He left me a message stating he had work available over in Iraq. So now this information is for yours to use and I hope you have a safe trip! |

Did not know if posting on here would help me get noticed. My exp. is truck driving. Any help would be appreciated. James jnorman31@verizon.net |

teebeekahuna in Alachua, Florida 26 months ago |
LOL, i hear all kinds of stuff about work for electricians overseas, but the KBR site has NO jobs for electricians, and the other sites are either pretty much bogus or they want a pretty hefty fee for you to fill out an app that they send off to someone else.. If anyone has actually worked as an electrician in iraq, can you give me some info that will lead me to getting a valid job over there? I am in IBEW but my local is doing jack squat to find me work. thanx |

Try Fluor Contracting. Quite a few electrical positions. You can only post 20 jobs in a 30 day period, though. |

drophat in Mobile, Alabama 24 months ago |
This is for anyone working over in Iraq for KBR. I have heard that they have cut back on there employee's getting any extra hours, they have cut back on their cash advance for their employees and there have been other changes going on with this company over in Iraq. Have any employee working over there now know if they are getting ready to leave and another company is taking over that contract or is the money for that contract over in Iraq is running out and they are getting ready to let everybody go? Is there any employee that work for this company now have any iformation or have heard anything? Really need to know these guestions because all employee's need to know what to do in the future. The President has said that all combat troops will be pulling out soon. Need to know how thais will affects the jobs in Iraq. I have heard they are leaving due to the money running out and the work will be turn over that country. Please reply to this if any one has any information. Thank you |

drophat in Mobile, Alabama said: does anyone know how much Flour Daniels truck drivers make in AFganistan? How to get in touch with one of there recruiters? I am getting ready to sign a Fluor contract after having worked for KBR in Afghanistan. Fluor is paying heavy truck drivers approx $98,000 per yr plus $3600 for R&R every 91 days. You must leave the country for a minimum of 5 days to collect the R&R money. Therefore, the total package is valued at about $113,000 per yr.
