He served as Brunei's fourth state secretary from 1970 to 1972 before becoming menteri besar (chief minister) from 1974 to 1981. Throughout his career, he held several diplomatic postings in various countries and represented Brunei at the United Nations (UN).

During his service to the government of Brunei, Pengiran Abdul Momin made notable contributions to the country's development. He organised dialogue sessions with the public, established the Brunei Arts and Handicrafts Training Centre to preserve traditional arts, and introduced civic courses for village heads, community leaders, and house chiefs. Additionally, he played a key role in developing an educational system with a focus on agriculture, implementing practical methods based on science and technology at the Sinaut Agricultural Training Centre.
