Frequently asked questions

Which BAS platforms are most in demand?

Niagara N4 and Distech lead the market, with strong ongoing demand for JCI Metasys, ALC, and Siemens experience.

Do you place installers as well as programmers?

Yes — from startup and commissioning technicians to senior programmers and controls project managers.

Is healthcare or data center experience required?

Not required, but strongly preferred for senior roles given how much of the work in Reno runs through those verticals.

What kinds of projects drive mechanical hiring in Reno?

Advanced manufacturing and data center at TRIC, plus hospitality retrofit around Lake Tahoe. Per-diem and travel packages for senior field roles are common because local supply is thin.
