Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd (KCB) is an international consulting firm with a strong reputation for quality service and technical excellence in a range of engineering and geoscience capabilities. KCB’s Australian operations opened in Brisbane in 1993 and in Perth in 2011, and they have worked on some of the region’s largest and most challenging resource sector projects. In 2019, the organisation decided to move from being a branch to a subsidiary business, with KCB now operating as an Australian business.

KCB is recognised as a technical leader in mine waste and water management, as well as water dam and hydroelectric services across Australia and in remote and equatorial environments, including Papua New Guinea and throughout Southeast Asia. KCB’s engineering, geoscience, and environmental consulting services comprise a variety of technical specialties, including geotechnical and civil engineering, hydrology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and geospatial and environmental science.

The company strives to balance social, environmental, and economic considerations to meet the needs of its clients, the community, employees, and other key stakeholders.

KCB’s QHSE Policy includes its goals of developing a culture of quality and fostering a safe and healthy workplace culture while reducing its environmental impact.

KCB uses a Quality Management System (QMS) to provide a consistent and disciplined approach to project management and engineering, geoscience, and environmental service provision. Since 1999, KCB’s QMS has been registered to the ISO 9001 standard. The QMS includes review and checking procedures for calculations, designs, drawings, tender documents, and cost estimating.

Leadership starts at the top with KCB’s President and senior management team and continues through all levels of the company with their Principals and Associates. KCB strives to provide leadership through continual engagement and transparency. The company provides regular forums for employees to provide feedback on business activities. KCB is employee-owned, offering share options to proven leaders who develop through the organisation’s internal career programs.
