Categories
Team Award
The CIOB Team Award celebrates the collaboration and combined efforts of groups of people working together to meet a combined goal. Teams can be any group of three or more people working within the built environment within a single organisational entity.
Nomination: You may nominate your own team, therefore the independent testimonial must come from someone outside the team’s organisation with direct knowledge or experience of working with the nominated team.
Rising Star
The Rising Star Award celebrates new, exceptional talent in the industry. It awards individuals who have demonstrated the highest level of excellence at the very start of their career in construction. The nomination is open to both CIOB members and non-members who have been in the construction industry for five years or less.
Nomination: you may not nominate yourself.
Sustainability Award
The Sustainability Award celebrates those who have made their mark on sustainability within the built environment. The construction industry has started to take steps to become more sustainable by looking at new methods to cut down on waste as well as innovating new products that can help improve many facets of the building process.
Nomination: You may nominate yourself for this award, therefore the independent testimonial must come from someone outside of the candidate’s organisation, with direct knowledge or experience of working with the candidate.
Winning the CIOB Scotland Graduate of the Year Award last year was a profound honour that validated my dedication and hard work in the construction industry. It not only boosted my confidence but also opened doors to new opportunities and connections within the field.
