Picatinny Arsenal Hiring 300 Military Jobs

New Jersey’s Picatinny Arsenal is adding 300 jobs to its 4,000-strong workforce in New jersey.

Two-hundred and twenty positions will be with the US Navy — some will be transfers from other states, and some will be local hires.

The facility is planning $76 million of construction and renovations, as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure program. All staffing will be completed by September 2011.

Founded in 1880, the Picatinny Arsena is an American military research and manufacturing facility located on a 6,400-acre lot in northern New Jersey. The Arsenal is the headquarters of the United States Army Armament Research, Development & Engineering Center.
