EMCOR Group Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty long but they didn't give a lot of details or outline things. I wish they would have kept me updated on what was happening. It was generally easy though, I just felt like I was in the dark. The company doesn't really have an outlined career development plan. Also, make sure to ask about insurance costs because it's pretty expensive.

I was contacted by the HR Staffing Specialist to set up a phone interview. After that, they sent me a link to complete an online application. Then, I had a 1.5-hour in-person interview with four Senior Buyers. The HR person who said they'd introduce themselves didn't show up. I was prepared with extra resumes, dressed professionally, and arrived early. After the interview, I thanked the interviewers and followed up by email. The HR agent then asked about my salary requirements. I responded the same day but never heard back. Despite my follow-up emails and calls weeks later, EMCOR didn't respond, which I found unprofessional. I can only imagine what their internal culture is like if this is how they treat applicants. Candidates put a lot of time into the interview process, and EMCOR's low expectations are disappointing. I know image is important, even if I'm not in Sales or Marketing.

We'll start with a phone chat. Then you'll meet with the Service Manager and Foreman, usually over lunch. After that, you'll meet with the Service Manager again, and they'll bring in the Branch Manager. If everything checks out, we'll get you set up with a drug test and start the background check.

This was the most unusual interview I've ever experienced. The majority of the time, the interviewer just talked about the company and their own role. The only thing they asked me was what questions I had, and they couldn't even answer most of them. They repeatedly told me I'd need to ask someone else because they didn't even work at that location, but instead worked in another state. Super helpful.
