Our Take on This Opportunity

  • You have solid experience in logistics, supply chain management, or military property disposal at a level equivalent to GS-11.
  • You possess strong leadership capabilities and are ready to manage property disposal operations in an overseas military environment.
  • You are a U.S. citizen eligible for Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) status in Kuwait and meet the strict federal resume formatting guidelines.

What should you think carefully about?

  • The resume length is strictly limited to two pages; exceeding this limit results in automatic disqualification.
  • The position is located on-site at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, requiring relocation and adaptation to an overseas military base environment.
  • You must pass rigorous pre-employment and random drug screenings, which include testing for federally prohibited substances like marijuana.

How could this fit your current goals and plans?

This role is an excellent fit for mid-career logistics professionals or military veterans looking to transition into a civilian supervisory role within the Department of Defense. It offers valuable international experience, exposure to large-scale military reverse logistics, and a clear path within the federal General Schedule (GS) pay system.

Our take

This is a highly suitable opportunity for qualified U.S. citizens with a background in property disposal and logistics who are eager to work on-site in Kuwait. It is not suitable for non-U.S. citizens, U.S. citizens with 'ordinarily resident' status in Kuwait, or those unable to meet the strict two-page resume limit.
