Work to Begin on BRAC Realignment Construction

First Job Fair Thursday March 12th

Hensel Phelps Construction Company has posted the first of thousands of job openings that will be required to complete BRAC work over the next three years at Fort Bragg. 

What is BRAC? "BRAC" is an acronym that stands for Base Realignment and Closure.  It is the congressionally authorized process the Department of Defense has previously used to reorganize its base structure to more efficiently and effectively support our forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways of doing business.  BRAC will cause Fort Bragg NC (an hour south of Raleigh) to expand significantly. 

Construction will begin on a new $286 million building, which will be the new Headquarters for Forces Command and Army Reserve Command.  The commands are relocating to Fort Bragg as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Plan.  Officers and civilians have been planning for their relocation to Fort Bragg from other locations. 

A job fair will be held on Thursday March 12th to fill positions.  Job titles include:

  • Concrete Carpenters
  • General Construction & Concrete Laborers
  • Commercial Concrete Carpenter Foreman
