KBR was just awarded the CTP (CLS) LOGCAP IV task order in Iraq. They may have lost Afghanistan but they are alive and well in Iraq.

Just for the record I don’t believe that KBR is as bad as some have portrayed them to be. I will admit that some areas are worse than others and it really is what you make of it. At least here with KBR I live in hard quarters, I have a charter to Dubai for my travel on R&R and I am getting a good paycheck which is more than I can say for some other contracting companies out there. I would weigh the options before I would say that KBR is going downhill.

I recommend you send your resume to http://www.logcap4jobs.com and have Bruce take a look at it. He is a former KBR/Fluor HR specialist. Get that passport and all your business in order, be prepared to mobilize asap. Just keep trying.

I went through houston as a rehire at the end of Nov 09 and they had more than 4 recruiters there! I am a truckdriver and there where less of us than of other jobs that people where there for. They had lots of food service workers there. We are busy now with the drawdown begining but they are holding us all to 84 a week so if we get overtime one day we get time off the next day to get back to 84 for the week

Hey Ms Sparky …long time no sandwidge

Spoke to a senior recruiter the other day, a friend of mine when I went through 3years ago, only 4 recruiters left,which will be moved to travel in dubai for massive cutbacks, hiring freeze indefinate. Only truck drivers and recovery will be replaced for fuel supplys and recoveries. There is an Attrition rate so thats the heads up.
My deal is going Gangbusters and I`ll keep you posted on outcome. Hope all is well with you and keep up the good work.

Cordially

I just was offered a position with KBR as a Logistics Analyst I think. I’m suppose to report to Houston end of November. I’m Leary now after reading all this negative stuff, do they still have the contract and is Fluor actively hiring. I was just on their site and it seemed like all upper management positions. If so can someone point me to a recruiter.

Thanks

submit your resume to KBRJOBS.com or if Ms Sparky will give you my email address send me your resume and i will submit it to the manager to see if they can get you on. KBR is hiring Vectors. Last time i looked at the Fluor site they were not mentioning Vectors at this time. Yes they are bidding on the mail mission, Transportation mission and some equipement maint positions. examu you can submit your resume to Fluor as well. Thank you for your interest.

No, I was referring to the construction department of KBR. I know there were a bunch of Carpenters let go from F2 a couple weeks ago. Things seem incredibly slow with KBR not getting new contracts, I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about the future of the construction department theater wide.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
I am going make a “psychic” NOT “psycho” (ha ha beat ya to it) prediction here. KBR construction is going to become as extinct as the “two bit beer”. Hopefully the DoD is not in the mood to endure the wrath of Congress and the general public to award KBR anymore contracts. KBR mangement is responsible for their own undoing. Of course this is all unofficial psychic predicting, so if anyone has the official word let us know.

Has anyone heard about KBR Construction? The FOB I’m at right basically has an ACL to rewire the entire camp up to NEC/BS Standards, which seems odd since the military is supposed to be pulling out of all the cities. The EOC is early next year but there is no way that will happen with the amount of stuff we have to redo/fix.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
KBR Construction?? Are you talking about a different company than the regular KBR that we all love to hate? And yes….that is a very valid point. What about all these work orders and ACL’s to rewire camps we are moving out of? Although it doesn’t matter how long the camp is going to be there. Grounding and Bonding still has to be done. And this is just my personal opinion.

O&M is dead. TTM will keep trucking for a bit in Iraq – probably till the last load is loaded. Look for the US to hold on to JBB, Talil and Spicier – the bases with the 10k+ runways. And of course the area around the Embassy. I wouldn’t be surprised to see KBR go belly up to duck all the lawsuits.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Good to know! Thanks

Ok folks I will try to clear some confussion so everyone will get a clearer picture, Ms Sparky if you don’t mind…

LOGCAP III is divided into multiple TASK ORDER’s or T.O. so, half of the story is right when someone said that LCIII is done…only T.O.’s that are out of funding and have been phased into LC4 would be considered as done. Now depending where this T.O is the transfer can be to Fluor (AFGHAN) DynCorp (KWT) or KBR (IRAQ), so as you can see KBR still have some T.O.’s on LC3. Recent LC4 T.O.’s for KBR in Kuwait supports the 5R and 5J project. That’s fuel distribution and storage.

And a note to all drivers in Iraq; I recently attended a conference with some “key” folks in the room. In summary, it will take over 168,000 truck loads to get 90% of the equipment out of Iraq. Think about it. I don’t believe the US Army will drive them all back to Kuwait by themselves. Note that I didn’t say Turkey or another location, because there are other substitute delivery locations. Keep your ears open, if you see a company looking for truck drivers, the move is on!!!

Ms Sparky’s Response:
I absolutely do not mind at all. I welcome it. Thank you.

Talked to a KBR recruiter today and he said that logcap III is continuing and that they continue to have work. He said all new work is logcap IV and all existing work is still logcap III. Who knows what the truth is but this is the info I got today.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
All existing work for KBR is LOGCAP III. I don’t think KBR has gotten any LOGCAP IV task orders. KBR recruiters are known to……not tell you quite everything. That whole “dishonesty by omission” thing. Trust but verify. Good Luck

the emails i’m getting from over there is that o&m people are leaving by the loads. not so much for the truck drivers (yet)but its coming.. and k.b.r. is letting some drivers back in country.. they ask a friend of mine if he was still wanting to go back..

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Evidently they didn’t anticipate the big “drag up”!!

zzzzap said it all….do not bother…LOGCAP 3 is done. Logcap 4 as you will hear is also called ITT.

KBR is closing LOGCAP III. They lost their contract. They are getting rid of employees left and right with less then a days notice. We know, we were on of them. No one is safe with their job there.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Keep me posted. Shoot me an email when you get home. Are you talking Iraq? Which camp?

Hi there….I am to be in Huston on May 4th as a Master Electrician I believe they are looking to make strong improvements and corrections in a positive way and learned from past mistakes…there are always problems and differences etc at any company and not one is perfect etc what is important is what you and I can learn and grow from the situation for we can move on in our path in life to help others not to make the same mistakes again.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
OK Stan…..just hand on to that positive attitude for as long as you can. Be safe.
