Syska Hennessy Group is a 95-year-old MEP and critical-facilities engineering firm with deep expertise in data center design, now modernizing its engineering workflow through GitHub Copilot adoption. The company's project pipeline spans high-complexity environments—data centers, behavioral health facilities, in-patient hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers—with a senior-heavy hiring mix (115 of 184 active roles) concentrated in engineering (172 roles). Pain-point data reveals the firm is actively scaling both internal capacity ('develop young engineers') and external reach ('expanding external client base', 'charlotte region expansion'), suggesting a transition from project services toward repeatable practice areas.
