Afghanistan ground crew Jobs?

Small rumor going around that there are civilian ground crew jobs (re-fuellers, ramp agents, load masters etc) to be had in Afghanistan. Sorry if this has been asked before. But there is NO information out there of company's that would be hiring. Does anybody know of any company's that would be bringing their own crews? And how to go about applying for these jobs? Ive been in the Ramp world for almost 4 years and it sure as hell doesn't pay for flight school haha. So any information would be great appreciated!



Thanks in Advance

It is true, its the ISAF (a part of Nato)

I know people who have applied, the money is good but high risk...

Supreme Group

If you are interested in ground handling jobs in Afghan (and a few other similar locations) then I recommend getting in touch with Supreme Group.

They are based in DXB and do recruitment for all this kind of stuff. Do a search around here on Prune, you will find stuff on them, perhaps not much but I do remember something.

Hustle On

Try ATCO Frontec, they run the ramp contract at KDH for NATO, and they are a Canadian company

You face about the same amount of risk in Kandahar as you do in Central London or New York.

However,

the facilities (though ok), constant dust, and lack of a good night out does wear people down over time.
