The UK Plant Operator of the Year – objectives
This year the organisers say the campaign will focus on these three strategic pillars:
1) Apprentices & Training
2) Technology & Performance
3) Sustainability & Carbon Neutrality
The organisers believe that the next generation of Plant Operators and Construction Skills trainees are the machine and business owners, key decision makers and influencers of the future.
A future that over the next 10 years, will see more technological advancement than in any other decade since the introduction of mechanical construction equipment.
The CITB, National Construction College, will enable exclusive access to their world class training facility where the training and preparation of apprentices to enter the world of construction begins.
The campaign will also give a truly unique opportunity, to CITB apprentices, as it is sponsored by many leading UK contractors and hirers.
