Contractor Agreements

Bennco Engineering is a registered Tom Price business and thus we live and work in the Tom Price community and wholeheartedly support ‘local business’ engagement. We endeavour where practicable to engage with compatible local contractor and suppliers of goods and services.This is demonstrated by the local supplier/vendors that we have registered including indigenous and non-indigenous businesses; such as Gumala and Ashburton Aboriginal Corporation, as well as other significant Indigenous owned and operated businesses in the Pilbara, including; Aboriginal Workforce Development Centre, Christine Ross Consultancy, Branch Out Consultancy, The Cultural Connection, Waangara Marra Consulting and the Matera Foundation.

Bennco Engineering also firmly supports the fledgeling Tom Price Chamber of Commerce and the endeavours to develop their promotion of local businesses and have committed our support by nominating (and accepted) our Managing Director Mr Stephen Tormey as a committee member 2017/2018 and the current chairperson.

Diversity is a key differentiator for us at Bennco Engineering: one of our main focuses is to cultivate and assist in improving ours and our client’s Indigenous employment strategies and workforce retention.As such Bennco Engineering currently has access to many experienced Indigenous job seekers as well as Indigenous consultants and elders who work as Advisors within our business. Furthermore, Bennco Engineering partners with our clients to tailor specific indigenous recruitment strategies and also have the capability to provide “work ready” and continued mentoring and support programmes for Indigenous candidates when required.
