Serco, an information and technology service provider, has set its sights on Rogers for a new facility slated to open this fall. The company’s domestic base is in Virginia, but the firm is headquartered in the United Kingdom.
Publicly-traded Serco learned last week that it landed a $1.25 billion healthcare contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Serco will manage applications for health insurance plans related to the Affordable Care Act.
Rogers city officials said Serco is expected to bring at least 600 jobs to the area when it sets up shop in the vacated Emerson building later this year.
The Rogers Chamber of Commerce said Serco will be screening applicants in Northwest Arkansas within a few weeks and making a strong push to hire veterans.
Serco has posted 20 jobs in Rogers on the career page of its website.
