DPR CONSTRUCTION, contractor and firm of California’s construction management, has named Jarret Eubanks as the new Information Director. The company says that Eubanks, who has almost 25 years of information technology experience in various Fortune 500 companies, began its transition to last year’s role since its previous position on the Equinix data center giant.
Focusing on digital transformation and taking advantage of emerging technology, Eubanks will work at the firm’s Dallas office and help take advantage of the company’s technological and data information initiatives to generate business. DPR says that Eubanks will also help deal with the company’s defenses against cybersecurity threats while managing and fulfilling regulatory compliance requirements.
“It’s an exciting time to unite -the construction industry as [AI] It changes dramatically how the projects are planned and delivered, “says Eubanks.” There are so many opportunities to continue advancing technology, promoting the value of customers and employees, especially in ways that can increase the efficiency of the delivery of projects through advances such as autonomous programming of labor and contractual identification of risk. ”
The DPR, based in Redwood City, California, occupied the number 7 on the list of 400 best contractors of 2024 with more than $ 9.4 billion in income.
Eubanks arrived at the RDP, as the firm has been “piloting many potential solutions” in emerging technological solutions. In a report of market conditions last year, the firm said it was “curious, but cautious” to integrate artificial intelligence and automatic learning into operations.
“We are especially excited about the ways that the IA can support the hiring and planning of labor, especially in the light of the ongoing labor shortages,” says Eubanks. “There are AGE Agents solutions that could help us take great steps to eliminate workplace incidents and [improve work] to the office ”.
He adds: “We believe that the IA Agent and other advances in digital capacities will drastically improve our ways of working, allowing our teams to devote more time to strategic priorities and less in routine and repetitive tasks.”
