We’re heading back to EMEX 2026, and this year we’ve got something new to share.

Complex projects rarely sit neatly inside one discipline. Electrical design, automation, controls, mechanical design, commissioning, and documentation all need to line up. We’ve introduced Automation & Controls so we can support clients across more of the engineering work it takes to get complex projects delivered. From mechanical design and project engineering through to electrical design, automation, commissioning, and documentation, our goal is to help keep the technical pieces connected and moving.

Caliber Design has been supporting New Zealand engineering companies for 11 years, working with more than 300 companies across 1200+ projects.

Our model is simple: we provide talented engineers on a seconded basis, embedded in your team, working within your systems, standards, and processes to help get projects over the line. Until now, that’s meant mechanical design, FE analysis, product development, and project engineering.

With our new Automation & Controls service, we can now support clients across a broader mix of disciplines. Our degree-qualified engineers can support electrical design, PLC, HMI and SCADA development, commissioning, documentation, and project support, while you retain full control and ownership of the work.

We’re also contributing to the EMEX seminar programme. Daniel du Plessis, our Auckland Regional Manager, is presenting Project Plans Don’t Solve Technical Problems on Wednesday 27 May at 2pm. Dan’s session looks at the gaps that can open up between design, procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning, and how technical leadership can support more successful outcomes.

EMEX is always a great chance to celebrate the depth of Kiwi engineering and manufacturing innovation.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for stories for our monthly Celebrating Kiwi Innovation newsletter. If you’d like to be featured, come and find us at Stand 1015.

We currently have vacancies throughout the country and are always keen to meet experienced engineers who are curious about the seconded model and the variety of work it offers across New Zealand industry.

Find us at Stand 1015, or come say hello at the networking function on Tuesday 26 May at 5pm.
