Hi, I'm Justin,
Director and head engineer of E61 Engineering Ltd.
Whether you're interested in a metaphorical espresso to give your business an extra buzz through innovative engineering solutions, or espresso of the drinkable variety, I'm here to help!
With more than 20 years of engineering experience across a range of industries (and an obsession with the art of coffee!), I bring a well-rounded approach to engineering solutions, and a big focus on relationships and customer service.
Beginning as an apprentice in a general engineering workshop, I topped New Zealand in the fitter and turner category of the WorldSkills competition. I've since managed busy engineering workshops, done field service in the forestry industry, developed and built new heavy machinery, and worked extensively with hydraulics.
Combined with a farming background, a stint in construction during my OE, and a good dose of kiwi ingenuity, I have a unique blend of skills and a common sense approach, creating practical solutions that work in real life.
The projects that give me the best buzz are the custom jobs, the tricky challenges, the work that doesn't always have an obvious solution - and the work that needs to be top notch with no detail overlooked.
Espresso for your business
Like a shot of espresso for your business, I can help keep your business running smoothly by taking care of all your engineering needs, or help you streamline and speed up your own workshop by looking after the custom, specialised projects that clog up your workflow. With a focus on precision, quality and technical excellence, you can trust that your business partner has you covered and get back to what you do best.
Espresso for you or your café
If you're in the coffee business or on a mission to set up the perfect coffee machine for your home or office, this is where my engineering expertise and passion for the art of coffee overlap to perfection.
Starting as an obsession for creating the perfect coffee myself, my love of restoring and repairing coffee machines has grown to dozens of lovingly restored machines happily cranking out excellent coffees around the country, hours and hours of research, and thousands of coffees made.
I can provide advice, repairs, coffee machine sourcing, and complete overhauls for anything from high calibre home machines to commercial coffee machines and roasting equipment. My unique combination of engineering experience and passion for coffee and everything related to it means you get the expertise, attention to detail, and focus on creating machines that consistently produce excellent coffee. I can even provide lessons on how to get the most out of your machine once it's ready to go.
Solutions for your home
If you need custom engineering solutions for your home or personal use, we've got your back here too. The trickier the better, we can provide repairs and overhauls or completely tailored solutions.
I'm flexible with how I work - from full project management to minor outsourcing to custom jobs, my mission is to help you and your business thrive.
Come have a chat over a great cup of coffee and see how we can work together!
