INC Research already employs 362 people in Wake County. The deal calls for the company to invest at least $17 million and allows it to create some new positions in Charlotte and Wilmington.
The Commerce Department says the new jobs are expected to have average salaries of more than $62,000. A state official says Philadelphia and Austin, Texas, also were in the running for the jobs.
The agency says INC Research is expected to invest $19 million over the next four years.
