Awarded by the Royal Academy of Engineering with support from the Worshipful Company of Engineers, five prizes of £3,000 will be presented to early career engineers whose achievements are recognised as outstanding in their field.
Nominations are open to engineers in full time higher education, research or industrial employment from any engineering discipline, who graduated from their first engineering degree within the last 10 years.
In addition to the prize money and a certificate, one of the five winners will also be selected to receive the Academy’s highly acclaimed Sir George Macfarlane Medal. The separate prize will be awarded to the winner who, in the view of the Academy’s Awards Committee, has most demonstrated outstanding leadership or technical attainment in their place of work.
Announcing the new RAEng Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year awards, Nigel Perry, chair of the Academy Awards Committee, said: “We want to celebrate the many talented young engineers who are already demonstrating the hallmarks of being world leaders in the profession. I look forward to seeing nominations from across the diverse field of UK engineering.”
John Robinson CBE, from the Worshipful Company of Engineers, said: “Our charity, the Engineers Trust, supports both excellence and emerging talent in engineering. These awards will recognise some of the potential influencers of the future in our rapidly changing profession.”
Nominations for the prize should be made through the Royal Academy of Engineering website by 17 February 2016. The winners of the RAEng Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year awards, and the overall winner of the Sir George Macfarlane Medal, will be announced at the Academy’s annual Awards Dinner in June.
