Frequently asked questions

Is this a fabrication shop role?

No — we focus on BIM/VDC detailing and coordination workflows, not hands-on shop fabrication.

CAD-Duct or CAMduct plus Revit MEP and Navisworks. Experience with spool drawings and prefab workflows is highly valued.

Remote work?

Yes — sheet metal detailing is one of the most remote-friendly roles in the mechanical industry. Many Charlotte clients support fully remote detailers.

How connected are Charlotte and Greenville / Spartanburg for mechanical work?

Very. Many Charlotte-based mechanical contractors run projects along I-85 into Greenville-Spartanburg, and senior candidates frequently cover both markets. We recruit for the corridor as a single labor pool.
