Who We Are:</b> Stratus is the premier cloud-based platform for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) contractors, and we are fundamentally changing how the construction industry builds. We provide a single, data-driven software layer that seamlessly connects a contractor's entire workflow&mdash;from Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and pre-fabrication in the shop, to logistics and final installation in the field.</p><p><b>
Our Mission:</b> To transform the MEP industry by delivering advanced digital tools that simplify complex processes, enhance collaboration, and maximize project efficiency through data-driven contracting.</p><p><b>
Why Now is the Time to Join:</b> The construction technology market is booming, and Stratus is leading the charge!</p><ul><li><b>
Significant Investment:</b> We recently secured $32 Million in Series B funding, led by Radian Capital, to fuel our expansion and product innovation across VDC, fabrication, and field applications. This is a massive vote of confidence in our product and our market.</li><li><b>
Cutting-Edge Integrations:</b> We&rsquo;re continuously innovating. Just this month, we announced a direct, first-of-its-kind integration with Mestek spiral duct machines, creating major efficiency gains by automating the data transfer from design to the shop floor.</li><li><b>
Customer Impact:</b> Our customers are realizing massive ROI. Some have seen spooling efficiency increase by nearly 400% after implementing Stratus. You will be selling a solution that delivers measurable, game-changing value.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
