American Time Announces 2018 Maintenance Hero Contest

DASSEL, MN – American Time, provider of integrated time solutions, is thrilled to announce the 2018 Maintenance Hero Contest. This contest is open to any organization in any industry—private, public, nonprofit, educational or others—that wishes to nominate a valued maintenance professional who routinely goes above and beyond in the workplace but receives little recognition for their efforts.

Nominees for this award must 1) be a maintenance professional, such as a custodian, groundskeeper or maintenance worker/engineer and 2) consistently demonstrate skillful work and go above and beyond to serve others. Go here to view last year’s Maintenance Heroes.

Three winners will be chosen with prizes ranging from $1,000–$3,000 in American Time product credit.

“We were thrilled with the response to our first-ever Maintenance Hero contest in 2017, as we received so many wonderful nominations for maintenance professionals making a positive impact across the country,” says George Wilkes, president of American Time. “We’re happy to continue the contest and spotlight more Maintenance Heroes who are making a difference in their workplace.”
