At Kiemle-Hankins and Birclar, we realize that the best equipment and facilities only make up a small part of our success. Our dedicated associates are the best in the industry. We hire tough and then develop our associates with a wide variety of training to ensure they are ready to tackle your toughest problems. All of this ensures the solution to your problem is the right solution.
We hire only the best people and then we provide them with an exceptional amount of training year in and year out. We also challenge every member of our team to acquire new skills constantly and to improve their performance no matter how good they are already. As an emergency service company, everyone on our team is familiar with the need to do whatever is necessary to get our customers up and running, and everyone works holidays and overtime to make sure that your needs are met.
In this kind of demanding environment it may come as a surprise that our retention rate is in excess of 90%. To go along with our exceptional talent and work ethic, our average associate has approximately 11 years of experience with our company even though less than 6% of our associates are within 5 years of retirement age! So, when you get technicians from Kiemle-Hankins or Birclar on your project, you will get the best, most professional team in the business.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we pride ourselves on the diversity and versatility of our team. For instance, approximately 15% of our associates have a military background, and approximately 9% hold engineering degrees. Although we seldom accept cast offs from competitors, many of our associates began their careers with well known OEMs who are among the leaders in industrial equipment, companies that include Allen-Bradley, AVO, Cutler Hammer, General Electric, Megger, Siemens, Square D and Westinghouse. Want more gee-whiz facts? Okay, we have 5 certified Level II vibration analysts and 3 associates who have passed NETA level three qualifications. The list could go on and on, but if you ever want more information about the team helping you with your problem, ask your representative. We are happy to provide resumes and experience summaries for anyone on our team.
