The CIOB is searching for high achievers outside the criteria of Construction Manager of the Year
>
A worldwide search for construction professionals
who have progressed innovation and excellence in their fi elds is to be launched under a new international awards scheme run by the CIOB.
The Institute is calling on construction employers, clients and sponsors to nominate individuals who have achieved levels of success that far exceed expectations. The International Outstanding
Achievement Awards will complement the established Construction Manager of the Year Awards and Innovation and Research Awards, but provide a platform for the majority of members whose roles lie outside these areas. As with CMYA, entries are encouraged
from both CIOB members and non- members. Non-members who reach the fi nal can directly apply for CIOB membership (MCIOB).
The rigorous judging process will
involve face-to-face interviews for shortlisted candidates, or interviews via video conferencing. Candidates are being sought in nine
different categories, with the winners in each group then competing for the title of Outstanding Achiever 2014.
The nine categories are: 1 Procurement and Supply Chain Management
2 Building Standards’ Management
3 Design Management 4 Facilities Management 5 Health & Safety Management 6 People Management 7 Conservation & Adaptation Management
8 Business Management 9 Young Achiever Award
The new awards scheme builds on the successful awards event run in
2011 by the CIOB and the Olympic Delivery Authority, which highlighted individuals who had made a signifi cant contribution to the successful delivery of Olympic projects. The CIOB Chairman’s Medal was won by Kevin McLoughlin of K&M Decorating for his commitment to providing training and learning opportunities. In a statement about the new
awards, the CIOB said: “Construction is the beating heart of society – creating both the essential and inspirational structures a nation’s well-being and prosperity is judged on. “The CIOB International Outstanding
Achievement Awards highlight exceptional professionals in construction who have succeeded in achieving remarkable results on the assignments they are committed to.” The winning individuals will be
honoured at a gala event. More details will be available on a new awards website launching soon.
