Our Story: A Legacy of Excellence

As I reflect on the remarkable journey of Robert Bird Group (RBG), I am filled with a sense of gratitude for the experiences and lessons it has brought into my life. From its inception in 1982 to the global consulting engineering firm it has become, RBG embodies not only professional achievement but also personal growth, resilience, and deep connections.

For me, RBG is more than just a company – it’s a testament to the values that have shaped my life, especially as a young man with a burning desire to provide for my family. It was with determination and a sense of responsibility that I embarked on this journey, never realising how profoundly it would impact my life and fulfill my aspirations. In those early days, as we laid the foundation of RBG in Brisbane, every challenge was an opportunity to learn and grow. With a small team and a shared vision, we worked tirelessly to build something meaningful – something that would leave a lasting impact on the world.

Over the years, RBG evolved from a local business to a global force in the engineering industry. Our team grew, our projects became more ambitious, but our commitment to integrity and excellence remained unwavering. We’ve engineered some of the world’s most complex projects, collaborated with leading minds, and left our mark on skylines around the globe.

But beyond the professional milestones, what truly sets RBG apart is the sense of family and solidarity that permeates every aspect of our work. Our team members aren’t just colleagues – they’re friends, mentors, and individuals who share a common purpose on this journey of discovery and innovation. Together, we’ve always conducted ourselves with integrity, striving to build relationships based on trust, transparency, and honesty.

From the inception of RBG to our current standing as a proud member of the Surbana Jurong Group, the road has been paved with challenges conquered, projects delivered, and lives positively impacted. As I look to the future, I am filled with excitement and optimism for what lies ahead. Our mission to engineer excellence and create a sustainable future for humanity has never been more urgent or relevant.

I am confident that with the passion, talent, and dedication of our team, we will continue to push boundaries and make a difference in the world.
To everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey – thank you. Thank you for your hard work, your dedication, support, and unwavering belief in the vision of RBG.

As we continue on this journey, let us strive for excellence, embrace new challenges, and build a future we can all be proud of.

Sincerely,
Robert Bird Snr
