The IOR RACHP Engineering Technicians' Section makes an annual lifetime achievement award to recognise an individual's commitment to a career in service, maintenance or installation engineering. This award is sponsored by ACR Journal.
The Technician Award celebrates the role of experienced engineers - the mainstay of our industry. The winner receives a prize of £400, an engraved trophy and a certificate, presented by the President of the Institute at the Annual Dinner.
Nominations can be made by employers, clients or colleagues.
Candidates can be working in any refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump related field in a service, maintenance or installation role.
They must have substantial experience in a technician level role and still be active in the industry.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to provide a cv and supply either a personal statement or take part in a phone interview.
Winners will be invited to attend the Institute of Refrigeration Annual Dinner to collect their award.
