40 under 40 is back, with a twist
The iconic young leaders award program is back, and its bigger and bolder than ever.
40 Under 40 has undergone an industrial revolution.
The iconic awards program will still recognize up-and-coming leaders, but for the first time ever, nominees from industrial backgrounds beyond just construction will be accepted, including mining, manufacturing, environment, energy and more.
The program is powered by SiteMedia and backed by it’s 7 industrial publications: SiteNews, ReNew Canada, Storeys, Water Canada, Environment Journal, Waste & Recycling and Hazmat.
Nominations for 40 Under 40 Industrial Leaders are officially open and can be submitted right now using this link. What kind of person is a good fit to win? The program’s organizers, SitePartners and SiteMedia, say they are searching for top young professionals from all corners of Canada’s seldom celebrated industrial sector.
“We have spent years highlighting just one major pillar of Canada’s diverse industrial sector,” said SiteNews editor, Russell Hixson. “But the impact other sectors, like mining and energy, have on the economy are seismic. And with so much overlap, we felt it was time our brothers and sisters in these industrial careers got the spotlight as well.”
Who we are looking for
Previous years have featured individuals who have led major initiatives, presided over explosive growth, pioneered new approaches and given back to others through mentorship. Honourees have been architects, contractors, designers, engineers, equipment operators, estimators, executives, occupational health & safety managers, project managers, quantity surveyors, site supervisors, superintendents, tradespersons, and many more in the consulting, law, finance, and technology communities.
How to nominate
All eligible nominees must be professionals in the industrial sector who are 39 years or younger, a resident of Canada and currently working in Canada. They must have their name and details submitted through the official 40 Under 40 Industrial Leaders website. Only nominations that have been submitted through via this process are eligible. You may choose to either nominate yourself or someone else. You may also submit nominations for more than one person.
Choosing the winners
In considering each candidate, a diverse panel of judges will consider a nominees professional achievements, leadership pedigree, impact on the industry and more. Their scores will be tallied and the top 40 nominee scores will be this year’s winners. Not only will they get to boast that they are among the industries most promising young leaders, they will be invited to attend a winner’s reception (early bird tickets now available here).
