Experienced leadership keeping projects on track

Behind your job sits over 30 years of combined workshop experience from Director Sam O’Connor, Operations Manager Ethan and Office Manager Chelsey.

Sam is a qualified mechanical engineer with more than two decades spent problem-solving under pressure in
heavy equipment repair. Ethan oversees daily operations, while Chelsey makes sure planning and administration are on point.
Ethan brings broad engineering expertise, backed by qualifications as a coach builder and certification in both high-tensile and mild-steel welding. His work meets strict industry standards that are independently tested and re-validated every three years, ensuring every repair and custom modification is carried out safely and to specification.

It’s that balance of technical know-how with day-to-day oversight that means your project moves forward properly, without issues slipping through the gaps.

Resilience that leads to better outcomes

CSR Engineering Ltd was launched in 2020, then immediately faced lockdowns, a cyclone and a recession. Working through those challenges built stronger systems, tighter supplier networks and smarter methods for handling complex projects.

For you, it means less downtime, a workshop equipped with the right kit and engineers confident in finding practical solutions. Whether it’s keeping trucks on the road or boats on the water, there’s focus always on minimising disruption.

Engineering work across transport, marine and general projects

You can tap into a full workshop and mobile service offering built for reliability and safety, including:
From urgent call-outs through to multi-stage builds, work is shaped to your timeframe and budget. Whatever the task, the outcome is compliant, practical and designed to keep your gear in service.

Certified engineers and proven compliance

Your project is completed by qualified welders – nearly the entire workshop carries actively renewed certifications every two or three years. Very few engineering firms can say that.

Instead of relying on just one or two certified staff, CSR Engineering Ltd makes sure nearly everyone has the skills needed. With strong links to two certifying companies and a vast team knowledge, we can often shorten wait times and help you get back up and running quickly.

By choosing CSR Engineering Ltd, you not only keep your own projects moving smoothly but also back a business supporting local communities.

Contributions and sponsorships include helping schools like Puketapu and partnering with local sports such as the Meeanee Speedway and their competitors. The company’s ties to Hawke’s Bay run deep, and your choice of working with CSR helps maintain that connection.

With certified engineers, extensive trade knowledge and a small but skilled crew, CSR Engineering Ltd delivers results you can rely on. Whether it’s fast
transport repairs, an urgent marine engineering fix or precise tig welding on complex projects, you gain confidence from working with people who’ve done it before – and done it right.
