Frequently asked questions

Is this a fabrication shop role?

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

What software is required?

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 Reno clients support fully remote detailers.

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.
