[lloyd1980]

Yes am working in Kunduz, northern Afghan.
Fluor
82 hour weeks
3 months
looking forward to a beer
(no alcohol here)

 

[lloyd1980]

Privelidges depends on where you are
If your unlucky enough to get BAF (bagram) the rules there are crazy and its densly overcrowded.
Get out of there and the smaller FOB's are ok, you may be lucky enough to get a German ran one, rather than american.

Smaller FOBS your generally allowed everything, laptops phones etc

The only way to do it is to apply on Fluor.com like everyone here.


If you get Dyncorp then youll be in southern afghan

Fluor youll be northern Afghan


recruiters will not answer unsolicited CV's and they just deleted, so please dont PM me asking for recruiter details and clog it up.


The only way to get on is to apply through the web site, the next intake is from memory mar/april somewhere in eastern europe.

Hi, i dont want to intrude but im also out working in Afghanistan for one of the companies. I would strongly advise you not to bring computer phones etc out with you. Us brits are classed as OCN (other country nationals) and we do not get the same privelages as US citizens do. Buy a laptop and phone when you get to your base. People have been fired for having those items. People do chance them and get away with it but its not worth your job if caught and lets face it. Your on 1400 a week tax free anyway.

That's because the yanks can't operate outside of their own country without bringing the States with them. That's why they tend to get more privileges, without them they they crack up.
I've seen this too many times, to be a coincidence... Most stick together like glue too, so they can cover each others bum. Whereas the Brits are stabbing each other in the back, cutting their own throats in the process...

I have too agree 100%

I'm currently working for dyncorp, testing and inspecting 50 & 60 Hz systems and some remedial work, Its fairly laid back and haven't had any dangerous encounters as of yet. It is absolutely freezing at the minute and rains on occasion but its sure to change within the next 2 month. Foods decent, facilities arent too bad but it's boring as hell so make sure to bring a portable hard drive with you, you can get hundreds of tv series, films etc on them and it'll keep you from ripping your hair out.

 

[tony.byer]

thanks seedy. have just completed their profile and will now wait. with any luck might see you out there sometime.
just for interest, i live in spain and can advise anyone looking for work here 'DONT BOTHER' there isn't any.
