Whar Our Clients Say:

Testimonials

PPL Engineering Services supports KBR and ultimately our military customers to ensure that works carried out in our austere locations is completed to a recognised Safe System of Work (SSoW).

PPL’s ability to deploy security cleared Authorised Engineers to audit, train and verify the safety of our workforce by appointing Authorised and Skilled persons is critical to our service delivery. In addition they have delivered Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Training courses and recently completed a full airfield Due Diligence Inspection (DDI) report on Mazar-e-Sharif AGL systems. PPL have provided these services for 3 years and all of the team are adaptable to clients’ needs. I would recommend PPL Engineering Services Ltd for further works or any future training on projects that may require their services.

Kellogg Brown and Root LLC

PPL Engineering services are a very professional team of experts that are helpful in all aspects of Building services. I would recommend them to other Estates and Facilities companies.

He is now helping us to expand our team and aiding with mentoring, assessing and eventually recommending designate APs for appointment.

The client along with their APs have direct contact with the AEs for remote support as and when required, we perceive the AE provision as a long-term relationship with the client, with this our AEs have direct contact telephones and email addresses to avoid any call centre potential delays.

Our Authorising Engineers are based all over the country, so no client is ever too far away.
