Is this a fabrication shop role?

How is Oracle's East Bank campus affecting Nashville mechanical hiring?

Significantly — the East Bank program has pulled senior PM, superintendent, and VDC talent into the Nashville market from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas. Comp for senior roles has moved up appreciably over the last 18 months.
