ITEM 1.       SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of EMCOR Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").
The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 101 Merritt Seven
Corporate Park, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851-1060.


ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of :

          (1)       Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, a California limited
               liability company ("Oaktree"), in its capacity as general partner
               of the Principal Fund and Opportunities Fund (see below);

          (2)       OCM Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited
               partnership (the "Opportunities Fund"); and

          (3)       OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited
               partnership (the "Principal Fund" and, together with the

Fund to exercise significant influence over such entities. Oaktree is also the
investment manager of a third party account (the "Oaktree Account") which
invests in securities similar to those in which the Opportunities Fund invests.
Based on Oaktree's relationship with the Funds and the Oaktree Account, Oaktree
may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by the Funds
and the Oaktree Account.

(d)-(e)

During the last five years, neither Oaktree, the Funds, nor, to the best of
their knowledge, any of their respective executive officers, directors and
general partners (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as
a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.


ITEM 3.       SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The Principal Fund holds 978,645 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as of the
date hereof. Such shares were obtained using $14,558,098.07 of the working
capital of the Principal Fund.


ITEM 4.       PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The shares of the Issuer's Common Stock described herein were acquired for
investment purposes and for the purposes described below.

Oaktree, as the general partner of the Funds, will evaluate the Issuer's
businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and all other
factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock will be acquired by the Funds. The investment

                                                       PAGE  7  OF  9  PAGES
                                                           -----  -----

strategy of the Funds is generally to invest in entities in which there is a
potential to exercise significant influence over such entities. Additional
shares of Common Stock may be acquired in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions, or some or all of the shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Funds may be sold. Oaktree currently
has no agreements, beneficially or otherwise, which would be related to or would
result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D;
however, as part of its ongoing review of investment alternatives, Oaktree may
consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may
formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, Oaktree
may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties
regarding such matters.

Representatives of Oaktree and the Principal Fund have spoken with Mr. Frank
T. MacInnis, Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Issuer concerning the business of the Issuer and its prospects. Such
representatives communicated the Reporting Persons' belief that the Issuer's
Shareholder Rights Agreement of "poison Pill" unduly restricts the liquidity
of the Issuer's Common Stock, resulting in an artificially low price for such
Common Stock, and that the interests of the Issuer's stockholders would be
served if the Shareholder Rights Plan were rescinded.

On February 26, 1999, the Principal Fund sent a letter to Mr. MacInnis dated
February 26, 1999 reiterating this belief. The letter also included a
proposal by the Principal Fund that a resolution be submitted to the Issuer's
stockholders for their approval at the next annual meeting of the Issuer's
stockholders (the "Resolution") requesting that the Issuer's board of
directors (a) refrain from adopting any sort of shareholder rights plan,
rights agreement or classification of such board of directors without the
prior approval of the Issuer's stockholders and (b) redeem or terminate the
Issuer's current Shareholder Rights Agreement. If the Issuer's board of
directors fails to announce in advance of the next annual meeting of
stockholders that the board will comply with such Resolution if it is adopted
by the Issuer's stockholders, the Funds and the Oaktree Account may either
(i) vote against the slate of candidates proposed by the Issuer's board of
directors for election as directors at such annual meeting or (ii) withhold
their shares from participating in the meeting and encourage a limited number
of other stockholders to similarly withhold their shares so as to prevent the
Company from obtaining a quorum. A copy of such letter is annexed as Exhibit
2 to Amendment No. 4 of Oaktree's Schedule 13D dated February 26, 1999.

ITEM 5.       INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a) As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Opportunities Fund owns and has
sole power to vote and dispose of 0 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. As of
the date of this Schedule 13D, the Principal Fund owns and has sole power to
vote and dispose of 978,645 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (approximately
9.39% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock).

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Oaktree, in its capacity as the general
partner of the Funds, may be deemed to be beneficially own 978,645 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer (approximately 9.39% of the outstanding shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock) held by the Funds.

(b) Oaktree has discretionary authority and control over all of the assets of
the Funds and the Oaktree Account pursuant to its status as general partner of
the Funds and investment manager of the Oaktree Account, including the power to
vote and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock. Therefore, Oaktree has the power
to vote and dispose of 978,645 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

(c) On February 15, 2000, the Opportunities Fund sold 2,450 shares of Common
Stock and the Oaktree Account sold 50 shares of Common Stock, each at $23.50 per
share. On February 16, 2000, the Opportunities Fund sold 2,450 shares of Common
Stock and the Oaktree Account sold 50 shares of Common Stock, each at $23.00 per
share. On February 17, 2000, the Opportunities Fund sold 49,000 shares of Common
Stock and the Oaktree Account sold 1,000 shares of Common Stock, each at $22.875
per share. On February 18, 2000, the Opportunities Fund sold 7,450 shares of
Common Stock and the Oaktree Account sold 150 shares of Common Stock, each at
$23.00 per share. On February 22, 2000, the Opportunities Fund sold 1,960 shares
of Common Stock and the Oaktree Account sold 40 shares of Common Stock, each at
