Jobs with American and Overseas Contractors in the Gulf States, Yemen and other overseas Countries in the Region

Custom Search

Much of the Middle East is in turmoil and most likely will remain like that for some time to come. The biggest problems is not, as some people think, the potential conflict between Islam and the modern world. Far more important is the massive unemployment that exists in almost every Middle Eastern country. Moreover, the population in most countries is young and, in some of the countries, relatively well educated with little hope of ever getting a job. The expectations these young people have, about life in general and about jobs, are not fulfilled by their respective governments. That is one of the reasons why many of the 20 to 45 year olds have turned to religion and to religious parties as a sort of "savior" of their future.

The war has added Iraq to countries with large numbers of foreign workers. EVEN THOUGH, THE MILITARY INVOLVEMENT OF THE USA HAS ENDED AT THE END OF 2011. There are still some troops there for training and intelligence work. In addition, the DEMAND FOR FOREIGN WORKERS continues and international contractors are deeply involved in the rebuilding and the cleaning up process in Iraq. They require seasoned and well educated tradesmen and professionals in almost all disciplines and areas.

At the end of this year, almost all soldiers, apart from some training units, will have left Iraq.

The available jobs are now mainly in cleaning up, shipping and packing the remaining equipment. However, the Iraqi government largely depends on foreign workers for their technical expertise in areas like the oil industry. There are some key logistics skills that are mainly provided by American contractors. Rebuilding and technically cleaning up (e.g. UXO and other war debris) after the conflict, are also jobs, where the foreign contractors will continue to be active.

There is still a need, although reduced, for the following types of positions

We estimate that, at any time, there are some 30-100 open positions available. That is down from about 400 in 2010.

At the same time, as there are job reductions in Iraq, there is also a stabilization of jobs offered in Afghanistan and the surrounding countries. There are some additional job opportunities in other Gulf States, such as Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar as well as in Yemen on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.

Most Army units, especially on the support side and repair, have been withdrawn. As are, since the end 2011, all combat units.

There are ongoing opportunities in support jobs with large numbers of US companies involved in a range of security, logistics, support and non military operations.

The Problem of finding those Jobs

To research who hires, where and for what jobs will take you weeks, if not months. This would cost you several hundred Dollars in time and effort. Keeping your database up to date in the changing environment of the government contractors will cost you further time and effort. We have already done that for you.

Since many jobs require security clearances, this will take time. If you are not immediately contacted after your application, do not worry. Employers will call you, when they need you!

We will send your application by e-mail to companies, who hire contractors for Iraq and who are in search of your skills. We will send it to the right companies, not on some wild goose chase! The number of interested companies will depend on the skills you offer. These companies will then directly contact you directly, when they have an opening and need your skills, agreeing directly with you their employment conditions.
