Why enter?
Particularly within this industry, it takes a variety of skills to run our businesses and support our engineering teams. So, we are expanding TOTY (Trainee of the Year) to include other disciplines and embracing Heat Pumps as a sector, a rapidly growing part of our trade. Our new categories reflect this and we invite Sales Executives/Representatives, Heat Pump Engineers, Project Managers/Designers as well as Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Engineers alike to enter. Let’s celebrate the diversity within our sector.
To note; being a trainee does not mean you are just out of college and new to the trade.
You could be re-training for a new skill or having transferred from a totally different sector. If you have any questions on this please contact Hayley
If you are training to do one of the jobs listed and are currently undergoing training, then it’s time for you to enter and be recognised amongst your peers.
