Diesel Technician Award Program

Reward a Job Well Done
The ChevronTexaco Diesel Technician Award program is a recognition and reward program designed to acknowledge outstanding diesel technicians. We believe that recognizing the best diesel technicians is important to their career growth, self-esteem, and well being. It sends a positive message to new and prospective technicians, while continually rewarding a job well done.

The Automotive Transportation Service Superintendents Association (ATSSA) endorses this program and will act as the governing body to sanction and administer the ChevronTexaco Diesel Technician Award Program for Canada.

The ATSSA has formed a judging committee to receive applications and make a selection on a monthly basis. The ATSSA will provide selection criteria and recommendations for an approved training program that can be put in place by the award winners.

Eligibility
Eligible and qualified technicians must meet the following minimum standards for consideration:

Receive two nominations ( 1 from their company management and 1 from a co-worker or customer)
Be recognized by management, co-workers and/or customers for strong technical skills
Go beyond the call of duty to serve customers
Pro-actively work to increase their knowledge and performance
Be a team palyer

Nomination Process
Interested technicians must complete and send the nominations form, along with a written endorsement by a co-worker or customer, to:

The ATSSA committee receives and reviews forms on a continuous basis. There is no deadline for nomination forms and more than one technician from the same company may be nominated. One complete application is required per nominee.
Selection Process
The judging committee consists of an ATSSA appointed group that is committed to our industry and wants to ensure that it offers quality careers to qualified individuals. The judging committee will review all submitted nomination forms and select a winning technician from a group finalists on a monthly basis. All finalists’ names will be placed into a pool that will allow them to be eligible to become “Diesel Technician of the Month” in future contests. Only selected winners, along with their nominations, will be notified of their current contest status.

As the employer of the “Diesel Technician of the Month,” your company will receive $800.00 towards trade school training for either veteran or newly hired employees. There will be no restrictions of your school of choice as long as the institution is endorsed by the ATSSA. Upon the successful completion of a pre-approved training program, simply send the receipt and the program information for reimbursement of $800.00.
