kbr employment

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?

i was thinking the sam thing they told me i would b on a base and not in hostil areas until i called a friend that trains navy seals and know about kbr and blackwater he told me his friend would tell him that construction workers were targeted and that you dont stay on a base that your convoyed to hot areas to work and that it not worth leaving my family for because i might not return im a master electrician and turned down 300K 91000 of it tax deferred

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....

Can you give me any insight what to expect I am a master electrician with contractors lic going to Iraq for KBR next month thank you Charles

Can anyone tell me what to expect as a Master Electrician with a Contractors lic working for KBR in Iraq. Thanks

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.

Hey do you think they will be keeping KBR electricains for a while or would they lay them off....is hard to keep your job over there?
