Our Story
Tabubil Engineering Limited, a proud member of the Mineral Resource Star Mountain (MRSM) group, has been at the forefront of engineering excellence since its establishment in 1984. We began as a humble venture, driven by the vision of Mr. Wayne Robin Bishop and the Migalsim Village Business Group, with a shared commitment to serving the burgeoning needs of Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML). Today, Tabubil Engineering stands as a shining example of growth, innovation, and community engagement in Papua New Guinea.
Our journey has been one of continuous evolution, marked by unwavering dedication, and a pioneering spirit. From a modest start with just 25 employees and an office housed in a shipping container, we have grown into a thriving enterprise with over 500 employees and state-of-the-art workshops across various divisions. We owe our success to the resilience and hard work of our team, our commitment to excellence, and our close ties with the communities we serve.
In 2008, a significant milestone was achieved when MRSM acquired Mr. Wayne Robin Bishop’s shares, making Tabubil Engineering 100% owned by local landowners. This landmark moment cemented our deep connection to the region and its people, aligning our interests with the sustainable development of the Western Province.
Our Commitment To Excellence
At Tabubil Engineering, our commitment to excellence drives everything we do. We have established ourselves as the largest Engineering and Construction contractor for OTML, consistently delivering first-class services and garnering recognition for our outstanding performance.
Our employees are at the heart of our success, and we pride ourselves on offering Individual Workplace Contracts that provide clear guidelines for performance and reward. This approach has not only fostered a culture of excellence but has also led to our top score of 99.4% in a recent audit for compliance across all OTML contractors and business units.
Expanding Horizons
Our growth story doesn’t stop here. We have expanded our horizons to meet the diverse needs of our clients and partners. Our major divisions encompass a wide range of services, including Construction, Fabrication, Engineering and Design and Mechanical Maintenance. Moreover, our Hardware Retail and Wholesale store, Equipment Hire, Labour Hire, and Accommodation facilities cater to the varied requirements of our clients.
Our recent expansion includes the establishment of Highway Transport Limited (HTL) in collaboration with Hore Binkia Engineering Ltd. HTL provides transportation services to Tabubil Engineering Ltd, Hore Binkia, and other companies operating in the Western Province. Additionally, our partnership with Fubilan Catering Services gave birth to Fubilan Security Services (FSS), a promising addition to our growing family of small business units.
