This accolade, sponsored by ACR Journal, is designed to recognise the contribution made by those who have spent a career as a service, installation or maintenance engineer working on any air conditioning, refrigeration, or heat pump equipment.

Shortlisted contenders will be invited to take part in a phone interview to discuss their professional journey and expertise.
