Our Approach

One year ago the Group began the implementation of a new Business Approach, following feedback from our Customers, Suppliers and Staff.

Our Customers asked us to consider a 'one-stop-shop' offering, as well to combine both our J&R Magnetics and Dynelec capabilities when value can be added.

It was recognised the strength of the 90 year old business is the ability to solve complex problems from start to finish.

Solving Complex Problems

To deliver on this, we are structured with three layers:

  1. Engineering
  2. Manufacture/Overhaul/Test
  3. Site Services

Our team of leaders, professionals, technicians and trades staff are expert in their field and work together to deliver results in the Mining, Industrial & Utilities segments.

 

Our Customers

Jones & Rickard Group decisions are centred on developing solutions for our customers that solve their problems. We are appreciative of the long term relationships developed over many years in the Mining, Industrial & Utility segments.

Today we are proud to be working with South32, Glencore, Qenos, SIMS, Sydney Water, Svitzer, Bluescope, Onesteel, Schneider Electric, CSIRO, ANSTO, Eaton, Energy Developments, and many others.
