J K Controls & Engineers

We've been around Peenya 4 for a good while now, mostly keeping busy with all sorts of control systems and engineering projects. It’s a bit of a messy shop sometimes but that’s just how it goes when you’re elbow-deep in panels and wiring all day. J K Controls & Engineers isn't a big fancy operation, just a handful of us who know our way around a circuit board and some heavy-duty switches. People usually come to us when they need something specific built or if a piece of machinery isn't behaving like it should. We spend a lot of time looking at blueprints and trying to figure out why a particular relay keeps clicking at the wrong time. It’s noisy in this part of town with all the other workshops nearby, but it feels right for what we do. The coffee machine in the corner is older than most of our tools but it still works, much like some of the gear we fix up. We don't really do much in the way of fancy office stuff. Most of our day is spent on the floor, making sure the measurements are right and the connections are solid. If you walk past the shop, you’ll probably hear someone grinding something or arguing over a schematic. It's just honest work, really. We’ve stayed in this spot because it's convenient for the suppliers and we know everyone on the street. It’s just us doing what we know how to do.
