Mechanical and electrical contractor with modular construction and data-center solutions
Environmental Air Systems is a manufacturing and construction contractor built around mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services, custom air handling, and prefabricated modular solutions. The tech stack is operations-focused—Oracle Primavera, Bluebeam, BIM 360, Microsoft Project—reflecting a project-driven, field-heavy business. Current hiring is weighted heavily toward manufacturing and construction roles (73% of open headcount), with recent activity concentrated in video and audio production tooling (Runway ML, Descript, DaVinci Resolve), signaling an internal push to professionalize recruiting and communications.
Founded in 1953, EAS operates as a family of four companies delivering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and building services across industrial, data-center, and modular construction sectors. The business spans custom air handling units, chiller and boiler plants, prefabrication shops, and central utility infrastructure. With 1,001–5,000 employees based primarily in High Point, North Carolina, the company serves customers ranging from industrial facilities to commercial real estate developers. Active pain points center on manufacturing cost reduction, delivery-time compression, labor efficiency, and rework elimination—typical constraints for a construction-services business managing both shop operations and field execution.
Oracle Primavera, Microsoft Project, Bluebeam Revu, and Autodesk BIM 360 form the core suite. Primavera handles scheduling and resource planning; BIM 360 supports collaborative design and construction workflows.
Recent initiatives include incident investigation, safety program development, factory layout optimization, emergency preparedness planning, and video/audio content production for recruiting and internal communications.
