The role supports project modeling and coordination, including prefabrication-focused 3D modeling, conflict-free installation, site verification and as-building, and creation of files for the Trimble locating system. It also involves working with internal teams and project stakeholders, testing new technologies, answering user questions, and helping identify and implement appropriate CAD hardware.

Egan describes its culture as focused on teamwork, innovation, integrity, growth, safety, customer care, and keeping promises. The company reports having over 1,000 employees and more than 80 years of history in specialty contracting and system integration.
