PRA Health Sciences Looks to Expand Workforce in Pennsylvania
September 21 2015 - 8:46PM
PRA Health Sciences (PRA) (NASDAQ:PRAH) a leading global contract
research organization, is expanding its presence in Pennsylvania.
Employees recently relocated from the company's Horsham and Fort
Washington facilities to PRA's new modern Class A+ office space in
Blue Bell, now the company's largest office worldwide. PRA
currently has more than one thousand employees in Pennsylvania and
is looking to add additional staff.
"We are delighted to be in this beautiful new space and we look
forward to welcoming more talented individuals to join our team,"
said Harris Koffer, President of the Strategic Solutions Group at
PRA. "This new facility is a testament to PRA's continued growth
and our commitment to our clients and the surrounding
community."
PRA is hiring across all major divisions, including clinical
operations areas and corporate functions. Currently 150 positions
are available at the Blue Bell office and surrounding areas.

To date, PRA has invested nearly $4 million dollars in the Blue
Bell expansion project. The project is expected to create at least
250 new full-time jobs by the end of 2016, and will retain 1,150
existing employees. Based on the project's significant economic
impact, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development (DCED) provided PRA with a $750,000 Pennsylvania First
Program (PFP) grant.
"The life science industry is a major driver of economic growth
for the commonwealth," said DCED Secretary Dennis Davin. "PRA
Health Sciences has shown a commitment to remain a part of this
growth and we're thrilled that the company will be creating at
least 250 new, high-paying jobs through this project."
The PRA Blue Bell office is located at 731 Arbor Way. The
facility includes state-of-the-art shared tenant conference space,
staff workplace benefits, and a fitness center. With 148,000 square
feet, the building can accommodate approximately 860 PRA
employees.
