    There are a ton in Hawaii. Just look at indeed or glassdoor and the only thing you'll find are govt contractors. The only problem is you'll need a Security clearance or they won't hire you.

    I live in Hawaii, and there are plenty of DoD contractor positions on the bases here (Fort Shafter, Schofield Barracks, Pearl Harbor, etc.).

    Other than Pine Gap, a very small CIA operation in Australia, there are no US military Bases there. Thus there would be no DOD contract positions. Pretty much is the same thing in South America. Places with major military bases, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Afghanistan, and Japan are where the most of them are.

    Go to the DoD contractors websites. Search their career sections by state, country etc. You'll have to figure out the part about getting a list of names of large DoD contractors to search for on your own.

    There are opportunities in Australia beyond what was said. They're just not typically open to public as existing workers compete for slots first.

    Just sayin. There are other DoD and military presence there

    I couldn't find any significant American Military bases listed for Australia, of course there would be Australian military bases, but I would expect any civilian positions be filled by Australian civilian's.

    Alice Springs is the town near Pine Gap, which I mentioned in my first posting. There's only around 1,000 positions there, many of which I'm sure as filled by Australian's, compare this to 5,800 civilian contractors in Iraq, almost all of them Americans.

    My company has the 4 positions listed. If you are interested I can send you an email to apply. Just PM me your email address.

    One thing to remember with contracting is your job is essentially year to year. I did contracting for a number of years and each September I would wonder if I would have a job in October (start of new fiscal year).

    Have you thought about the Dept. of State Foreign Service?

    DoD has a huge presence in Hawaii, just avoid living in Pearl City. That place is a ****! Oahu is overrun with military and it's where about 95% of the DoD jobs are located.

    You could try to get a State Department job, they get to live in all kinds of great places.
