What it signals when you’re hiring
Metro Associates’ own read, not NECA’s.
This is a contractor-side award, which makes it useful for a different reason than the others: it maps the firms doing the installation work your MEP designs land on. Candidates who have worked across that boundary are the ones whose drawings get built without a fight.
Roles whose work ends up in an entry like this
