With a steadfast commitment to excellence, KBR supports critical missions worldwide by delivering high-quality services and reliable solutions. The company offers extensive expertise in food service management within military environments, ensuring the well-being and operational readiness of service members through effective dining facility management and related support services. As part of its range of services, KBR operates under the AFCAP V Program, a crucial contract supporting the U.S. Air Force by delivering Dining Facility (DFAC) services to the 380th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron (EFSS) at Al Dhafra Air Base (ADAB).
The role of DFAC Site Manager at Al Dhafra Air Base is a pivotal leadership position under the AFCAP V Program. This position entails full operational responsibility for managing all aspects of the Dining Facility services, including food preparation, serving operations, sanitation, housekeeping, and equipment maintenance. The Site Manager acts as the on-site authority, directing personnel and subcontractors to ensure mission-critical food service operations align with AFCAP requirements, U.S. Air Force standards, and host nation regulations. This role requires rigorous attention to safety, food sanitation, and quality control to maintain a ZERO Harm workplace and guarantee compliance with food safety standards such as the Tri-Service Food Code.
The Site Manager leads a multicultural workforce comprised of U.S. Navy personnel, local nationals, and other contractors, emphasizing accountability, training, and performance management. Daily tasks include scheduling, staffing, overseeing meal service execution, managing surge support during mission peaks, and maintaining DFAC equipment. The manager also oversees hood and duct system cleaning in compliance with fire and safety standards and ensures rigorous quality control and sanitation programs are followed. Collaboration with 380 EFSS leadership, contract officers, and mission partners is essential to align DFAC operations with fluctuating mission demands.
Inventory control, supply chain management, rapid response to service deficiencies, and government furnished property accountability are also essential duties of this role. Maintaining detailed continuity books, accurate reports, and required contract deliverables is critical for seamless operations and compliance. KBR offers this position with the opportunity to work in a dynamic, high-stakes environment supporting vital U.S. Air Force operations. Candidates must possess a minimum of seven to ten years of related experience, a strong grasp of food safety standards, and proven leadership in managing large-scale dining facilities in deployed or austere locations. The ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET clearance is required.
This is a contract role under a government service agreement, offering competitive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement plans with company match, paid time off, disability insurance, and professional development opportunities. Working at KBR means belonging to a company that values connection, growth, and career advancement in a supportive and mission-focused environment.
