Are positions seasonal or year-round?

Most ASESC positions support the Antarctic summer season, which typically runs from September/October through February/March. A smaller number of roles support year-round operations, including winter-over assignments.

How can I stay informed about future opportunities?

The best way to stay informed is to join our talent network and sign up for job alerts. We will share updates about hiring timelines, available positions, and recruiting events as information becomes available.

Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to apply?

The overwhelming majority of ASESC positions are filled by U.S. citizens, and priority is given to American applicants. There may be a limited number of job opportunities available to foreign nationals from select nations, which would require specialized experience and extensive background checks.

Will Antarctic experience be valued during the hiring process?

Absolutely. Antarctica presents unique operational challenges, and experience supporting scientific missions in remote environments is highly valued. Technical expertise, safety performance, leadership experience, and mission knowledge are all important qualifications.

What are the medical requirements for working in Antarctica?

Individuals selected for Antarctic assignments must successfully complete the applicable medical screening and qualification process. Specific requirements vary by position and assignment type. Additional guidance will be provided during the hiring process.

Will I need to complete a background investigation?

Yes. Some ASESC positions may require additional background screening based on the role and customer requirements. If the position you're applying for requires an elevated background investigation, we'll guide you through the process during hiring. These screenings help ensure employees are qualified to support critical operations in Antarctica and are a standard requirement for many government-supported positions.

Will ASESC jobs be with KBR or Trinzic?

KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business is expected to be spun off as an independent public company in January 2027 and will then operate under the new name Trinzic. ASESC jobs will be with Trinzic starting January 4, 2027 following the spin off of the company.

Where can I find information about pay and benefits?

Details regarding compensation, benefits, and employment terms will be provided as positions are posted. KBR and Trinzic are committed to offering competitive compensation and benefits designed to attract and retain highly qualified professionals supporting critical missions around the world.

Do I need prior Antarctic experience to apply?

No. Many positions welcome skilled professionals from related industries like logistics, engineering, trades, IT, healthcare, food service, and more. Prior Antarctic or remote operations experience is valued but is not required for most roles. Training and orientation are provided before you deploy.

What does the physical qualification (PQ) process involve?

All participants must pass a rigorous medical and dental examination. The process is designed to ensure that health conditions can be safely managed in a remote environment with limited medical facilities. Clearance is required before travel arrangements are confirmed. Start this process as early as possible. It can take up to eight weeks, and additional testing may extend the timeline.

How long are typical contract deployments?

It depends on the role and season. Austral summer deployments (Mainbody) typically run from October through February. Winter-over positions cover the full isolation period from approximately February through October. Some roles support specific science events or technical operations and may be shorter. Your hiring team will clarify the expected deployment length during the application process.

Why does community alignment matter so much?

When you are hundreds or thousands of miles from the nearest city, with no commercial transportation, the people around you become your entire world. A cohesive, mission-aligned community is not just more pleasant; it is functionally safer, more resilient in emergencies, and more effective at supporting science.
