Project Manager

Joel [Egan Field Leader] has been fantastic to work with on the installation of the GE chiller. I appreciate his quality work throughout the installation and the updates he provided on the progress. Joel’s attention to detail has helped to ensure that the new chiller will meet our requirements now and into the future by identifying issues and working through them to implement robust solutions.

Senior Process Engineer

We were experiencing problems with our Sielox Pinnacle software connecting to the controller, due to a server crash. Martin [Egan Field Leader] was able to get our system back up and running over the phone, in minimal time. We have no documentation on this system and Martin’s help troubleshooting the system was greatly appreciated. Great job!
