The Electrical Contractors’ Association has started the hunt for the most talented youngsters in the sector.

The industry-wide Power Players initiative is aimed at those aged 39 and under who have already made a positive impact in their organisations.

To enter individuals simply need to send in a short video highlighting their achievements.

The entire process will be digital with no need to complete lengthy forms or attend interviews in person.

ECA CEO Steve Bratt said: “I am delighted to announce the arrival of Power Players 2017, which aims to showcase some of the most talented individuals from across building engineering services.

“With recognition and some great prizes on offer, we look forward to seeing already successful younger individuals participating in the initiative next year.”

Power Players will be open to entrants across the country who work for any of the following types of organisation:

·         Clients and specifiers (e.g. facilities managers, local authorities, housing associations, property developers etc.)
·         Consultants and designers
·         Engineering firms
·         Installers and contractors
·         Manufacturers and distributors.

Power Players will open to entries in spring 2017.
