Want your views to be heard? Join the expanding OFTEC technician committee!

One of the areas we believe OFTEC can continuously improve is to listen to more of the views of registered technicians. You are the ones at the coal face of the heating industry, and we need your feedback to provide the best service we can, delivered in the way you need it. Last year we relaunched the technician committee, but we feel it’s time to expand to take on board more of your views.

The technician committee is designed to allow participants to offer ideas and feedback to the OFTEC representatives, who will communicate the outcomes to the main scheme committee regularly on your behalf.

The requirements of membership of the technician committee are based upon:

• Holding OFTEC registration throughout your term.
• Being willing to attend online meetings via Teams twice each year (these will be coordinated conveniently).
• Representing the views of all fellow technicians, not just serving your own agenda.
• Agreeing to sign a confidentiality agreement.

We would like to have two technician representatives from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands. If interest is high, more from each region can participate, but participation will be capped to ensure all participants can have their voice heard. The chair and vice-chair of the technician committee will get a seat on the main OFTEC scheme committee.

The next meeting of the technician committee is in October (5-6pm), so if you have an interest in participating, please contact Jonathan King jking@oftec.org detailing your registration number.
