Project Controls Expo

Australian Chartered Professional Engineer (cost/schedule/risk) of the Year

What the judges are looking for

NOTE: Only Chartered Engineers, or those who have had their application accepted by Engineers Australia, are eligible to enter for this award. Entry can be by self-nomination or by nomination.

Judges are looking here for the passion, determination and contribution behind the person. The judging criteria places priority on the all-round positive contribution the chartered engineer has made to the business through outputs and outcomes of their respective project (encompassing projects, programmes or portfolios) whilst recognising the essential role that the management and use of the wider project controls toolkit has in delivering success.

Each of the criteria is scored between 0 (no evidence at all) and 10 (perfect evidence) with each section being weighted accordingly (see %).
