What types of jobs are available at Blackwater for those in the military?

I'm curious about career opportunities with Blackwater for military members. Does anyone know what kinds of positions are available, and what the application process is like for veterans or active duty personnel?

Blackwater, which has since been rebranded as Academi, offers a variety of positions that may appeal to individuals with military backgrounds. This includes roles in security, consultancy, and training. Security-related jobs often require prior military experience and could involve providing protection to personnel or facilities. Commissioned officers might find opportunities as consultants or in strategic roles, while enlisted personnel might secure positions in security operations.

Academi also operates a training center offering a wide range of courses. Veterans with specific proficiency, such as specialty weapons training or specific language skills, may find instructor roles at these facilities.

The application process typically involves submitting your resume and application online directly through the Academi’s career site. It's important to highlight your military experience as well as any relevant skills or certifications. Following the initial application, there may be an interview process, which could include both behavioral and situational assessments.

Do keep in mind that Academi often requires its employees to work in high-risk locations overseas. So, if this doesn't align with your career goals, you might want to consider other defense contractor companies or civilian roles that utilize military skills and experience.
