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 have worked on some of the largest and most challenging resource sector projects in the region. In 2019, the organisation decided to move from a branch to a subsidiary, with KCB now operating as an Australian business.

The management system is accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards. KCB’s QHSE Policy includes its goals of developing a culture of quality, 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 to its engineering, geoscience, and environmental service provision. KCB’s QMS has been registered to the ISO 9001 standard since 1999. The QMS includes review and checking procedures for calculations, designs, drawings, tender documents, and cost estimating.

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, with share options offered to proven leaders who develop through the organisation’s internal career programs.
