AFCAP V ADAB DFAC: Alternate Site Manager (Secret Clearance)

KBR is a global leader in providing diversified services and solutions to the defense, government, and industrial sectors, specializing in engineering, construction, and operational support. Recognized for its commitment to excellence and innovation, KBR partners with organizations like the U.S. Air Force to deliver critical mission support services across various domains. Operating within the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR), KBR delivers essential base operations support that includes food service management, engineering, leasing, and power production. Its comprehensive services enable sustained mission readiness and operational effectiveness for deployed forces and personnel.

This particular role, the Alternate Site Manager (ASM) for the AFCAP V ADAB DFAC program at Al Dhafra Air Base, is a vital position within KBR's portfolio of services. The ASM acts as the second-in-command for Dining Facility (DFAC) operations supporting the 380th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron (EFSS). Serving alongside the Site Manager, the ASM ensures seamless operation of meal services, maintains food safety and sanitation standards, oversees equipment maintenance, and manages a diverse, multinational workforce comprising U.S. Navy, local national (LN), and other contractor personnel (OCN). This role is integral to maintaining the high standards required for supporting a dynamic and fluctuating population with contingency and surge capabilities.

The role demands substantial leadership, operational oversight, and the ability to ensure compliance with all contractual Performance Work Statement (PWS) objectives. The ASM is empowered to fully assume the responsibilities of the Site Manager during their absence, including directing all personnel and subcontractor activities. This leadership position requires managing daily staffing, scheduling, accountability, and performance to guarantee operational continuity across all meal periods. The role also entails coordinating directly with Contracting Officer Representatives (COR), Administrative Contracting Officers (ACO), EFSS leadership, and other critical stakeholders to resolve issues and align operational objectives with mission requirements.

In addition to overseeing food service delivery, the ASM has responsibility for coordinating and monitoring maintenance and repair of DFAC equipment, inspection and cleaning of hood and duct systems to meet safety and fire regulations, and enforcing quality control programs. Attention to detail and rapid problem-solving skills are necessary as the ASM must address operational deficiencies swiftly and support surge operations, special events, and contingency feeding requirements. Adherence to government and contract standards, including proper badging, escorting Local National and Other Contractor Nationals, and security protocols are also integral aspects of this role.

Candidates must have a U.S. citizenship status and the ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance. The ASM position requires 5 to 8 years of experience in dining facility operations, food service management, or large-scale meal production environments, with proven supervisory or leadership experience managing high-volume and multi-cultural teams. Strong organizational, leadership, and communication skills are essential. Preferred candidates will bring prior experience supporting U.S. Air Force or Department of Defense (DoD) operations, familiarity with AFCAP program requirements such as reporting and Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), and property accountability practices. Food safety certifications such as the ServSafe Manager Certification are highly recommended.

Employment for this position is full-time, and KBR offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience. The company supports its workforce through a comprehensive benefits package and professional development opportunities aimed at career progression. By joining KBR as an Alternate Site Manager, professionals enter a role that is critical to the success of vital military support operations, offering both a challenging and rewarding career path in a dynamic environment.
