“One of my favorite parts of my job is having opportunities to troubleshoot technical problems in the field for our clients. I have always enjoyed trying to find out how things work, so troubleshooting when mechanical equipment is functioning incorrectly, has always made my job fulfilling. Since working here, it’s been a pleasure to build strong relationships with clients while demonstrating EAB’s core values. We are here to completely support our clients in any way that they need.”
