“From the client’s perspective I am very happy with Jackson’s service. They provided sound planning advice in a timely manner, kept us fully informed throughout and managed inevitable challenges in an appropriate and pragmatic manner. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending their services."
Jim Blackwell, CEO Kauri Group
"We engaged Lance Jimmieson from Jackson Engineering to address people from our engineering, validation, manufacturing operations, quality control and vaccine manufacture teams in a two-day training session. We’d recommend Lance and Jacksons to other companies looking for a similar workshop – Jacksons was very approachable, had great industry knowledge and showed us practical application of how HVAC impacts other areas on industry.”
Lee-Ann Carrasco, lead validation engineer at MSD Animal Health
“We use Jacksons as our preferred consultant for HVAC design and installation, particularly with regard to retrofit works. They are a team of professional engineers dedicated to improving the performance of HVAC systems. Simply put, they are simply the best and we have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
Paul O’Malley, Bayleys Property Services
"I've worked with Jackson Engineering for four years. What I like about Jacksons is they have a team of engineers that have a good understanding of projects - from both a technical and practical angle. We use them to help solve air conditioning issues and I find that their solutions are practical and cost effective, providing the best outcome for our tenants."
Daniel Henderson, General Manager of Smales Farm
“We had a problem: a large muesli bar production facility that was always hot and humid, causing many operational issues. Despite the building being relatively new with a reasonable air con system, it just wasn’t working. We contacted Lance and, after an initial visit, we understood the magnitude of our problem. We agreed to a sizeable spend and were able to promise our Board – with confidence – that it would work. And it did! Despite a hot and humid summer, it made a remarkable difference. Well done, Jackson Engineering.”
