- Applicants worldwide with at least 12 months of experience in material handling, supply activities, or related work.
- Individuals possessing a valid driver's license and the ability to operate vehicles up to 10,000 pounds.
- Military spouses, family members, or eligible individuals who qualify for NAF preference and priority consideration.

- Foreign overseas allowances, cost of living adjustments, and differentials are not paid, and medical and dental care are the employee's responsibility.
- This appointment offers a guaranteed 20 hours per week, which is fewer hours than a standard full-time schedule.
- Applicants must comply with the Exceptional Family Member Program for overseas placement.
How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This flexible position works well for eligible candidates seeking international exposure or wanting to accompany family members stationed in South Korea. It allows individuals to maintain an active foothold in federal or NAF employment, gain cross-cultural installation logistics experience, and access benefits like the NAF 401(k) plan while working part-time hours.
Our take
Globally mobile applicants with supply handling experience and military community affiliations looking for a flexible overseas role in South Korea should strongly consider this opportunity. Anyone requiring full-time guaranteed hours, relocation funding, or comprehensive overseas allowances should look elsewhere.
