As ROI Staffing expands into the Real Estate, Architecture, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) space with the launch of its dedicated RAM division, one leader is helping shape the future of this initiative from the ground up: Chase Corcoran.
Born and raised on Cape Cod and now based in the Boston area, Chase brings both local roots and a deep understanding of the region’s A/E/C landscape. A proud University of Maine graduate, he has spent the last three years at ROI honing his expertise, first as a recruiter, and now as an Account Manager leading this new strategic vertical.
What sets Chase apart is his people-first mindset and ability to navigate both the technical and human elements of staffing. With a strong track record of connecting top talent with high-impact projects, he’s bringing the same energy, precision, and passion to ROI’s RAM division. From architectural design and engineering to facilities management and ongoing maintenance, Chase is building a talent pipeline that supports the entire lifecycle of a building and building lifelong partnerships in the process.
This spotlight dives into Chase’s vision, the goals of the RAM division, and how this new chapter reinforces ROI’s core mission: delivering expert-driven staffing solutions through lasting relationships.
What inspired ROI to launch the RAM division, and how does it align with the company’s long-term goals?
The inspiration behind launching the RAM division stems from our commitment to delivering more specialized, high-impact staffing solutions within the A/E/C industry. While ROI has successfully supported clients in this space for years, we recognized a growing need to break out these services into a dedicated vertical that could offer deeper expertise and a more tailored approach.
By creating the RAM division, we’re not just expanding our service offerings, we’re sharpening our focus. This specialization allows us to better match top-tier talent with the highly technical demands of real estate development, architectural design, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems. It also enables us to scale this precision and service quality across additional markets beyond our Boston office, giving our clients the consistency and attention they deserve no matter where they’re located.
Strategically, the RAM division supports ROI’s long-term vision of becoming the go-to staffing partner in niche, complex industries. It’s about evolving with the market while staying true to our core strength: building lasting partnerships through thoughtful, expert-driven talent solutions.
How does the RAM division differentiate itself from traditional staffing in construction and design?
The RAM division takes ROI Staffing’s deep expertise in construction and design staffing to the next level by expanding into the real estate sector. While we’ve always staffed for traditional roles in building and infrastructure, such as structural engineers and project managers, RAM allows us to go beyond the build phase.
Now, we’re positioning ourselves to support the entire lifecycle of a building. That means not only sourcing top talent during design and construction but also providing skilled professionals for post-construction needs like facilities maintenance, electrical systems, HVAC, and ongoing operations.
With RAM, our clients can rely on ROI as a one-stop talent partner, from initial concept and architectural design all the way through to long-term building maintenance and support. It’s about creating continuity and trust through every stage of a project, ensuring our clients are covered not just during construction, but for years to come.
What types of roles is the RAM division focused on placing?
We Provide Access to Proven Skilled Real Estate, Architecture and M/E/P Professionals across various disciplines:
- Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Engineers
- BIM/Revit Modelers & Coordinators
- Field & Office Project Managers
- Property Managers & Assistant Property Managers
- Maintenance Technicians & Building Superintendents
- Project Coordinators & Accountants
- CAD/Revit Drafters & BIM Specialists
- Mid-to-Senior Level Architects
- & More!
What are some unique challenges in staffing for real estate, architecture, and MEP roles compared to other verticals?
AI-generated content may be incorrect.Every client and role comes with its own set of challenges, but in the RAM space, we’re often navigating broader economic uncertainties and the complexities of funding long-term projects. Timelines can shift,budgets can tighten, and expectations remain high.
That’s where we come in. Our goal is to provide a layer of stability by delivering top-tier talent that keeps projects moving forward on time and within budget. Whether it’s during the design phase, construction, or ongoing maintenance, we help our clients feel confident that they have reliable, experienced professionals supporting their vision from start to finish.
What are your personal goals in this new initiative?
I want to be a trusted partner in the Greater Boston area, not just someone who fills roles, but someone clients can count on when they need the right candidate at a moment’s notice. While many companies are chasing one-off placements, I’m focused on building lasting relationships and real partnerships, with both clients and candidates.
That means deeply understanding what our clients need to complete their projects successfully and equally understanding what our candidates are looking for in their careers. My goal is to be a reliable, go-to resource for both sides.
This philosophy ties directly back to ROI’s core principles, relationship-building is in the DNA of this company. That same commitment is what we are bringing to the RAM division. We’re not just growing a new vertical, we’re growing connections that last.
Ready to build something lasting? Whether you’re launching a complex real estate development, designing the next architectural landmark, or maintaining the systems that keep it all running, Chase Corcoran and ROI’s RAM Division are here to support every step of the way.
