So how does one break into commercial
If they have always been residential and light commercial. I love the thought of controls work and heck.... travel doesnt scare me, I just have no idea how to break into more commercial work or who in the heck I even need to talk to. Obviously I have no experience in the big stuff.... (one company I worked for for a while took care of 2 supermarkets.... but I didnt get a whole lot of exp from that).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Apply with a company that doesn't do residential!

If you get hired you'll have to work on bigger items.

I see that you are on the NC coast.Why don't you apply at the place that has the giant "P" on the van.If you don't know who that is e-mail me and I will tell you about them.I don't work for them,but one of my best friends does.

Go to your local union hall and get on the apprentice list for commercial companies. I plenty of guys who did just that, and your schooling will be paid for and you will get the knowledge necessary to work in commercial.
I STARTED WITH NOTHING, AND I STILL HAVE MOST OF IT!
