CONSTRUCTION

Gold Mech, Inc. Small Business

Construction comprises the development and construction of buildings or engineering projects. Georgia’s recent unprecedented economic growth has led to a surge in demand for the skilled trade workers needed to build the state’s emerging landscape.

Though a part of the construction industry, the role of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) as well as plumbing bears an increased urgency that other aspects of construction do not often encounter. Gold Mech Inc., an Augusta-based company, provides HVAC, plumbing, sheet metal, and process piping services across commercial, residential and industrial spaces. Through a combination of classroom learning and on-the job-training, apprentices at Gold Mech INC are a valuable asset to field operations teams.

As the only local contractor that supports a true, curriculum-based, registered apprenticeship program, Gold Mech takes a hands-on approach to closing the gap between supply and demand of trained tradesworkers in Georgia.

In the classroom, apprentices learn the fundamentals and theory of the plumbing trade. On the job and during the hands-on training sessions, apprentices learn to install a vast array of piping systems, understand and interpret drawings, size piping systems, and troubleshoot typical plumbing issues. Overall, the goal of the apprenticeship is to graduate apprentices with both the knowledge and skills to accurately install correct piping systems efficiently, as well as honing critical thinking and problem solving skills.
