Brock Opens New Hiring Centers to Meet Project and Maintenance Activity Growth

HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2015 /CNW/ -- As a result of continued growth in customers' business needs and, subsequently, the company's growing maintenance and project portfolio, The Brock Group has relocated and expanded multiple hiring centers across the U.S. Gulf Coast to specifically recruit and attract talent throughout the region. The new offices will continue to support Brock's growth by enhancing presence in key locations and increasing efficiency of the recruiting, training, and staffing process. Facilities involved in this process include Baton Rouge, LA; Sulphur, LA; Deer Park, TX; and McAllen, TX.

"The new hiring centers are critical to meeting the demand required by our continued growth," said Bob Pragada, president and CEO of The Brock Group. "Our customers expect us to deliver the same level of first-pass quality and service excellence at new sites and opportunities as we do at existing project and maintenance facilities. These hiring locations will allow us to identify, recruit, hire and train individuals with the right skills and mindset to join the Brock team."

Brock's new Baton Rouge hiring center at 8689 Siegen Lane opened in July. The relocation places the office closer to the local Safety Council and other support services, while also providing a more centralized and accessible location for potential new hires.

Brock's Sulphur, LA, hiring center at 3747 South Belgis Parkway opened in early August, having relocated to a facility with double the capacity of the previous location. Serving the Sulphur/Lake Charles community, the office is also within close proximity to support services and a planned SWLA Safety Council remote classroom under development.

Brock's Deer Park, TX, hiring center will serve the greater Houston area from 8329 Spencer Highway. Targeted to open in mid-September, the center will be located near the state-of-the-art Houston Area Safety Council and DISA offices, promoting greater efficiencies, unique training opportunities and an overall better experience for new hires.

Brock's McAllen, TX, hiring center at 812 E Violet opened in early July. The new location is capable of serving twice the number of applicants as the previous McAllen center and is also within a short distance of support services used in the screening process.

All Brock hiring centers can be found on the company's website at http://www.brockgroup.com/careers/hiring-locations/. Interested applicants may also begin the process online through Brock's career portal or contact a hiring center by calling 800-600-WORK.
