An inspirational built environment professional
After being raised in a low-income household and leaving school without qualifications, Dockerill became a carpenter and joiner in his younger years before progressing his career within the construction sector.
He worked in social housing for over two decades and before his sudden death. He was director of energy and programme management at a non-profit housing provider.
Following the Grenfell Tower fire, Dockerill worked closely with the fire brigade to ensure their response to a fire in a high-rise building was as quick, safe and effective as possible. He was fundamental to the development of the Twinnedit digital twin platform following the 2017 tragedy.
The idea of creating the award was inspired by his family, friends and colleagues.
Antonia Lanyiova, qualifications liaison manager at CIOB, said: “Paul believed that positive change could come from anyone, regardless of their background or professional affiliation, so we are thrilled to open this award to anyone with fresh and innovative ideas.
“Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a student, or someone with a unique perspective, we encourage you to submit your innovative project or idea for consideration. You do not necessarily need to work within the construction sector to be considered.”
