The CIOB has begun recruiting expert judges to assess the candidates in this year’s Construction Manager of the Year Award.
The annual award, which focuses on people rather than projects, provides a unique chance for skilled construction managers to compare themselves with their peers.
As the awards are renowned for the rigour of the judging process, the CIOB stresses the importance of having a judging panel with high levels of expertise. Each year the judging team spends six months and clocks up a total of 15,000 miles interviewing candidates and visiting every shortlisted site.
Judges must possess extensive knowledge and experience in construction management (in site project management, public relations or other key areas) and a thorough understanding of the construction industry and industry regulations.
Applicants to judge the awards must be current chartered members of the CIOB. Practitioners in all areas of construction management – especially previous award winners – are encouraged to apply for the role.
For 2016 the CIOB has revised the criteria for entering the awards, opening up routes for non-site-based managers and single package managers to apply. Applications will also be welcomed from senior managers or operations directors who might be overseeing a portfolio of projects rather than having a hands-on role on a single project.
