Specialty contractor delivering architectural, metalwork, and laboratory solutions nationwide
ISEC is a 1,200+ person ESOP-backed contractor managing complex builds across architectural woodwork, ornamental metals, doors, and lab furniture. The tech stack is construction-native (Bluebeam, AutoCAD, PlanGrid) with enterprise infrastructure (Dynamics 365, Office suite), and active hiring tilts heavily toward field execution (construction roles outnumber engineering 3:1). Current projects span ERP/CRM integration and custom application development, while pain-point patterns—budget overruns, material delays, labor inefficiencies—point to operational scaling challenges common in specialty trades.
