There are many. By the way "Blackwater" isn't called that anymore but "Xe." Folks just can't get their name out of the mind. Also, you need to bring some skills to the table for most of these jobs. Some require miiltary/law enforcement background depending on what you apply for. Others will train you up like anywhere else. Check each page(s) and look for their resume/careers sections. Most are detailed on what they require and you can always just write/call the company.

Some US ones:
