Date: 29-Jun-2017
Nominations for the annual qldwater sponsored water industry operators’ awards are now open. Established in 2010 by qldwater in conjunction with the Water Industry Operators Association of Australia (WIOA), these awards will again recognise the achievements of operational staff employed in the Queensland water industry. The award winners will be announced at the WIOA Annual Queensland Water Industry Operations Workshop Conference Dinner in Toowoomba on 18 June 2015. Applications close on 1 May.
The two categories available for nomination this year are for:
- Queensland Young Operator of the Year
- Operator of the Year (Civil / “All Rounder”)
The Queensland Young Operator of the Year winner will receive an all-expenses paid trip to join the WIOA delegation on a tour of water and wastewater facilities in New Zealand as well as attending the Water Industry Operations Group New Zealand conference in May 2016, a perpetual plaque which their employer keeps for 12 months plus an individual trophy which is kept by the winner.
The Operator of the Year (Civil / “All Rounder”) winner will receive up to $1500 towards professional development opportunities such as attendance at other WIOA conferences, qldwater training or for funding expenses for exchange opportunities at neighbouring councils. The winner also receives a perpetual plaque which their employer keeps for 12 months plus an individual trophy which is kept by the winner.
The awards aim to encourage outstanding operational performance of Queensland water industry employees and will be presented to operators who showed excellent performance, initiative and all round attention to detail. All employers are encouraged to nominate their operators for these awards.
