What do you mean by Alternative Jobs?

Been thinking about checking out of your soul-sucking office job but not ready to completely give up on a steady paycheck? Can’t bear the daily grind and just want to do something different? How about a job in a tropical paradise? There are a myriad of job opportunities available on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

Much like jobs in Antarctica, the jobs in Kwajalein are geared towards skilled tradespeople and other professionals, but the desired skills are extremely broad and chances are, you have skills that could be applied to a job on Kwajalein.

Besides living the charmed life on a remote island where the trade winds blow, there are a plethora of other other benefits to working there including company provided transportation, housing and some positions offer company provided meals as well. You may qualify for tax exempt status while working there. Vacation, holidays, and medical/dental insurance are also available to employees. Many of the positions are unaccompanied meaning that if you have a spouse or children, they can’t come with you to Kwajalein but some positions are accompanied. Most positions offered through Kwajalein Range Services are on a 24 month contract basis. I can tell you from personal experience that a job with an end date has many advantages over a full-time permanent position.

Jobs in Kwajalein are in support of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. To view current job opportunites, apply or get more information visit KRS
