Job Description

KBR is a global engineering, construction, and services company supporting various critical infrastructure and mission needs for government and commercial clients worldwide. Known for its commitment to innovation, quality, and operational excellence, KBR delivers services that span from engineering support and facility management to specialized logistics and contingency operations. Under the AFCAP V (Air Force Contract Augmentation Program) initiative, KBR plays a vital role in supporting the U.S. Air Force by providing comprehensive Dining Facility (DFAC) services to the 380th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron (EFSS) at Al Dhafra Air Base, ensuring sustained mission readiness and quality of life for deployed forces.

The Alternate Site Manager (ASM) position is an essential leadership role within KBR's AFCAP V Program, tasked with overseeing and ensuring the seamless continuity of DFAC operations. This role acts as the second-in-command at the Al Dhafra Air Base Dining Facility, directly managing food service delivery, sanitation, equipment maintenance, and workforce supervision. The ASM is fully empowered to take charge in the absence of the Site Manager, maintaining full operational authority and responsibility for effective mission execution. The position necessitates a proactive and organized leader who can manage a diverse multinational workforce including U.S. Navy (USN), Local Nationals (LN), and Other Contract Nationals (OCN). The ASM ensures compliance with stringent safety, sanitation, and performance standards, supporting a dynamic population with surge and contingency requirements.

Beyond operational management, the ASM acts as a critical liaison among various stakeholders, including government representatives, Defense Contracting Officers Representatives (COR), Acquisition Contracting Officers (ACO), and Air Force leadership, ensuring alignment of dining facility operations with overall mission objectives. The role demands a strong focus on zero-harm workplace policies, proactive issue resolution, and rigorous quality control programs. The ASM also coordinates equipment maintenance schedules, manages inventory levels, oversees supply chain processes, and supports emergency feeding operations, all while maintaining compliance with security and access controls that are vital in a defense environment.

This position requires candidates to hold or be able to obtain a Secret security clearance, possess significant experience in large-scale dining operations, and demonstrate outstanding leadership and communication skills. The role offers an exceptional opportunity to contribute to critical military support functions while advancing a career within a reputable global organization. KBR provides a competitive employment package with benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and professional development opportunities, making it an ideal choice for seasoned professionals committed to excellence and mission support.
