Nominations are open for the 2008 Craig Roseneder Award for technical and maintenance excellence in the workshop.
The award recognises the professionalism of the men and women who work behind the scenes in the trucking industry’s workshops.
Chairman of the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) Trevor Martyn says the award is open to candidates who work for a trucking company, supplier or commercial workshop as a workshop manager or mechanic, or who provide support within the maintenance field for heavy vehicles.
"The judges will be looking for candidates with a minimum of three years of experience and demonstrated high levels of skill and aptitude. They will also be looking for candidates with a demonstrated commitment to their job and the Australian trucking industry," he adds.
The winner will receive a scholarship to attend the American Trucking Associations’ Maintenance Council meeting in early 2009 and AUD1,000 in spending money.
The winner will also be presented with an individual trophy and a gift from award sponsor Castrol, as well as complimentary registration for the 2009 ATA/ARTSA (Australian Road Transport Suppliers Association)Technical and Maintenance Conference.
Martyn says past recipients of the award have returned from their overseas trip with a breadth of newly gained knowledge and experiences to share within their organisations. "The award is a significant opportunity for learning and development, as well as a chance for companies to gain recognition for a stand-out employee," he says.
The award will be presented at the Castrol Workshop Awards Dinner, which will be part of the 2008 ATA/ARTSA Technical and Maintenance Conference. The conference will be held from 9 to 11 November at the Moonee Valley Function Centre in Melbourne.
