Mr Nieddu, who works at Crossrail’s Whitechapel site as an apprentice civil engineering technician with Balfour Beatty, also won in the Construction Apprentice of the Year (Tunnelling) category.
Mr Morgan said: “Rudy has the respect of the entire workforce in everything he does. He is fully committed and does everything whole heartedly.”
