Frequently asked questions

What software is standard?

Revit MEP and Navisworks are mandatory. Trade-specific add-ons (CAD-Duct, Victaulic Tools for Revit, eVolve) are strong pluses.

Remote options?

VDC is one of the most remote-friendly disciplines in mechanical construction. Many Atlanta clients support fully remote BIM coordinators and modelers.

Do I need MEP background?

Strongly preferred. We focus on candidates with commercial mechanical, plumbing, or piping BIM experience — not general architectural Revit.

How much of Atlanta mechanical hiring is data center right now?

Data center is the single largest driver of senior mechanical hiring in metro Atlanta — a sizable share of the searches we run for the region. Douglas County and South Fulton are the highest-concentration submarkets.
