ABOITIZ CONSTRUCTION EARNS FIFTH STRAIGHT SPOT AMONG PHILIPPINES’ BEST EMPLOYERS

Aboitiz Construction has once again earned national recognition as one of the country’s top employers, securing a place on the Philippines’ Best Employers 2027 list for the fifth consecutive year.

The recognition, presented by the Philippine Daily Inquirer in partnership with global research firm Statista, highlights the company’s continued efforts to foster a positive workplace culture, strengthen employee development, and create opportunities for professional growth.

Aboitiz Construction ranked 85th nationwide and placed third in the Construction, Oil & Gas Operations, Mining and Chemicals category. The rankings were based on an independent assessment of more than 3,500 companies and a survey involving over 10,000 employees, evaluating workplace conditions, organizational culture, and career development opportunities.

For Antonio Peñalver, Executive Director of Aboitiz Construction, the achievement reflects the dedication and resilience of the company’s workforce, known as its Kaubans.

“Earning this distinction speaks directly to the passion and resilience of our Kaubans. This honor reinforces our drive to empower our workforce while delivering top-tier operational excellence in everything we do,” Peñalver said.

Beyond the recognition, the company continues to strengthen its employee-centered approach through initiatives that expand access to employment and support long-term career advancement.

These include localized recruitment one-stop shops in remote provinces, competitive compensation packages, leadership development programs, structured succession planning, and opportunities for employees to advance within the organization.

Aboitiz Construction also promotes open communication and employee engagement through regular town hall meetings, peer recognition initiatives, and continuous skills development. By integrating artificial intelligence and modern technologies into its human resources services, the company aims to improve operational efficiency while enhancing the overall employee experience.

As it celebrates its 51st anniversary, Aboitiz Construction continues to expand its presence in heavy and light industrial services, infrastructure development, maintenance operations, and equipment rentals across the country.

Its latest recognition underscores the company’s commitment to building a capable, empowered, and future-ready workforce as it continues to uphold its guiding principle: “Engineered for Excellence.”
