MEP contractor and building systems integrator for commercial construction
Southland Industries is a 5,000+ person MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and building systems contractor operating across engineering, construction, and service delivery. The tech stack is dominated by construction-specific tools—Revit, BIM, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Primavera P6—paired with Microsoft enterprise infrastructure (Office, Azure, Fabric) and integration middleware (Workato, Boomi, Informatica), suggesting a traditional AEC firm modernizing data flows between legacy project management and newer cloud platforms. Hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering (255 roles open) and construction (135), with a 3:1 ratio of senior to junior staff, indicating a company scaling execution capacity rather than entry-level onboarding.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Information Officer, VDC Project Lead
