The Association of University EngineersHarland Roberts Award
In 2009, the AUE launched the Harland Roberts Award for the most promising engineering apprentice/trainee in the university sector. By encouraging these young people, the AUE can help maintain the professionalism required to support the development and maintenance of the engineering infrastructure within Universities.
2012 Award
Entries for the 2012 Harland Roberts Award are now invited from university engineering apprentices/trainees. The entry form should be completed and returned to info@aue.ac.uk by 12 noon on Friday 25 May 2012. We would urge all engineers to look at their staff and
see whether there is an outstanding individual who they think merits
consideration and, if so, please encourage him or her to complete and return the form. The quality of
last year's candidates was, as always, very high so
candidates who have been previously unsuccessful are welcome to re-apply.
2011 Winner
The 2011 winner, Daniel Xuereb, received his trophy and PC World voucher at the Conference dinner in Edinburgh on Thursday 8 September.
Daniel Xuereb joined King’s College London just over two years ago as an electrical apprentice and had already completed his first year’s study at Bexley College, which he financed himself whilst working in the retail industry.
Daniel is a well liked and respected member of the estates team.
From the outset, it was clear that Daniel had a mature outlook and a determination to succeed. He has achieved the highest accolades throughout his development to date, and his colleagues are sure he will continue to progress quickly with his chosen career.
This Award demonstrates what hard work and determination can bring, and is a fantastic accolade for both Daniel and King’s College London.
Daniel is also Energy Champion at Denmark Hill and is currently involved in reducing energy and carbon, utilising energy saving lighting controls, lamps and fittings, and has recently handed over a project which he designed and managed.
Daniel is about to start his path to HND qualification with Greenwich University.
