Pride in the Job Awards
How the competition works
Originally started in 1980, the Pride in the Job (PIJ) competition was established to improve quality and raise the standard of service to homebuyers by focusing on the day-to-day operation of the building site and the work of the site manager. 26 years on, these principles and many of the original rules of the competition remain today, including the rigorous selection procedure which takes place all year round.
The rewards for excellent site management go beyond the coveted PIJ trophy, medals, blazers and certificates. Winning an Award helps to build individual careers and professional reputations and is also a benefit to the winner's employer in terms of favourable publicity. Also, the Awards are increasingly recognised by homebuyers who are looking to purchase a quality product.
The categories enable Award winners, their employers and the media to compare like with like. They are designed to take account of company size, the degree of off-site assistance that the site managers may enjoy and the pressures under which they may work.
