• All nominees must be professionally registered as either EngTech or ICTTech to be eligible for this award.

You can nominate an amazing technician, or they can apply themselves and request a reference from you, or a manager they work with. The form is straightforward and simply asks you to tell us about some of the great work they have been doing, any additional activities such as promotion of engineering that they have been a part of, and ultimately, why they should win!
