BIG ON INNOVATION

“I gave Sam an NPS of 10/10 because he was a quick learner and asked the right questions. We appreciated the fact that he was big on innovation and proactive about looking at ways to improve processes.”

Monkeytoe Group
Ben Halliday, Design Manager

GREAT RESULT FOR CLIENT

“Delivering a great result for our client was the key for us on this project, Caliber helped us do this by providing an engineer to work on the project while we were recruiting for permanent staff. This meant we were able to deliver a great result for our client while also servicing other projects.”

Vortex Engineering
Brett Hawkes, General Manager

EFFECTIVE PROJECT ENGINEERS

The Caliber engineer “handled contractors well to ensure the project ran smoothly, and resolved issues effectively when they popped up. We’re new to working with Caliber, but have been impressed so far and would use them again for future projects.”

Daniel Pereira, Energy Projects Engineer

A GREAT PARTNER TO OUR BUSINESS

“We recently had Caliber support us in the new jet development team. We needed extra resource to support our delivery program in order to meet our strategy goals. As I have found working with Caliber in a previous role, their ‘in company’ model works exceptionally well. Having one of the Caliber guys in the office like they are one of the Hamilton Jet team is invaluable. They are able to pick up our systems and integrate into our project management process quickly. Getting support and answers to questions in both directions happens without delay. They can also easily attend design reviews, daily meetings etc. As our priorities change, we can be agile and shift work around easily, overcoming bottle necks. On top of all this, they are genuinely a good bunch of guys, which makes them a great partner to our business.”

Hamish Thompson, New Product Development Manager

ORGANISED, ORDERLY, DELIVERED

“Caliber came into the project organised, it was orderly, everything that JP said would happen did. We were pleased with the results and the outcome. We got everything we wanted and asked for. I would definitely use Caliber again … it was a good experience for us.”

EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH

“Caliber Design were contracted by IBEX Industries to make improvements to our Electric Motor for the Trimming System. Right from the outset, it was easy to communicate with the team. Their understanding of our requirements in detail and their subject knowledge made the whole process easy. We worked under a tight time frame and the Engineers were able to provide IBEX with design solutions within the time frame. They were professional in their approach and delivered.”

IBEX Industries
Krish Mukunth, Operations Manager

CRUCIAL TO OUR BUSINESS

“Stackflo work on high value design contracts that simply cannot fail. The Caliber Design team are crucial to our business, providing great easy to work with talent at short notice. In a difficult recruitment market, Cailber have “nailed” the selection and vetting of great talent.”

StackFlo
Mark Robotham, CEO

EXPERIENCE & ADAPTABILITY

“Caliber’s role was an essential component of this overall conveying project. Having a Caliber engineer there meant that we could get the project completed on time. Caliber’s experience and adaptability meant that we could leave their engineer with a high level of autonomy throughout the design and project management of this equipment.”

Automac
Hayden Nelson, Director

SKILLED DESIGNERS, GREAT WORK ETHICS

“I had the opportunity to work closely with two Caliber engineers for a few months. Both of these guys are skilled designers with great work ethics and awesome attitudes. They fit in well with the rest of our design team, approached feedback well, and provided well thought out solutions to many of the design problems presented. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to Scott for any future projects.”
