Agency Roles - Project Finance & Non-Recourse Commercial Real Estate

I currently work in portfolio management at a large foreign bank and have been told that the agent role could help me understand documentation better and give me exposure to the various stakeholders. Sure, but how beneficial is that for someone who wants to work in structuring/origination? Doing a job like this requires basically no modeling and I feel could just be a dead end. I understand that the role could show you’re organized and have the interpersonal skills to work in an origination type role, but I don’t really buy into the idea that this is a step forward to something worthwhile. Also do structures finance teams really hire people with agency experience? I feel like the job is just posting on intralinks all day.
