Employers are invited to nominate technicians from all parts of Australia, especially regional areas, to showcase technical excellence in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning.

So what are we looking for?

The skills of a good tradie are always evolving as they stay abreast of changes in technology to meet customer expectations in a highly competitive market.

We want young apprentices with the potential to be the best in the business.

This is a person passionate about their trade, who goes above and beyond to ensure they do a good job every time.

They work well with others and take pride in their work. In addition to a high level of technical skill, they have great communication skills and demonstrate a good understanding of the business from problem solving and safety awareness to trouble shooting skills.

Not only do technicians possess specialised training and expertise to repair systems, but they also work with clients to build HVAC systems that provide enhanced performance and system efficiency.

A good tradie is a critical thinker capable of troubleshooting and diagnosing problems. They have a huge part to play in ensuring equipment is installed and operating to manufacturer’s standards as well as ensuring the ongoing, application, control and efficiency of systems.

They do an important job and we want to see the best and brightest rewarded for their good work.

Nominations open 1 February, 2022 and close 1 April, 2022.
