Dear Edel,
Estimators and Construction Surveyors are definitely called for in the Middle East, the biggest problem you have isn't that your a Woman, but that your Irish. Lately, Companies with Contracts under the Logcap Program have been tagging the job descriptions "USN", which contrary to popular opinion is not "United States Navy" but rather, "United States National".

My advice is to apply first then when they call, explain the situation and try for a waiver.
KBR has a position for an Estimator in Iraq, however, it may not be the type of Estimator that you are qualified as, have a look;

Job Title Estimator
Req ID 36508

Category Project Controls/Estimating
Location Iraq

You may also want to check ITT International and Fluors Career site from time to time I didn't get any hit's this time for "Estimator or Surveyor", that's not to say they won't pop up.

Good luck.
