Amey, one of the UK’s leading infrastructure services and engineering companies, is excited to announce the arrival of its latest Early Careers cohort, ready to create a real impact on the future of UK infrastructure.

This September, 137 graduates, apprentices, and interns embarked on their careers with Amey. With a diverse range of programmes available, including Engineering, Design, Finance, Project Management and Business Management, this year’s intake will gain hands-on experience working at the forefront of critical UK infrastructure projects.

As part of its commitment to fostering the next generation of industry leaders, Amey has revitalised its Early Careers Programme, giving participants the opportunity to collaborate with award-winning teams, make a tangible impact on real-world initiatives and give them the skills and confidence to shine. From day one, they will contribute to complex projects that keep the UK’s most vital infrastructures running smoothly; from working on the Transpennine Route Upgrade, improving rail journeys for passengers in the North, through to designing active travel schemes to reduce carbon in major cities, providing benefits to communities and the environment.

Amey’s Early Careers schemes have consistently attracted a rich, vibrant pool of talent. This year marks a significant milestone, with 31 per cent of the cohort being women, a notable increase in comparison to the 29 per cent average for women in STEM fields. Amey is determined to build on this success by continuing to promote greater gender diversity, disability, and multiethnic representation in its 2025 intake. Applications for the next cohort are now open.

Joanne Quinn, Resourcing Business Partner for Amey, said: “This is an incredibly exciting time to join our team. As we continue to grow our business and take on more innovative projects, the need for vibrant, dynamic talent has never been more critical. By revitalising our Early Careers programmes, we’re offering a wider range of opportunities that bring out the best in every graduate, apprentice, and intern. Their fresh ideas and energy are key to helping us push the boundaries in delivering sustainable, full-lifecycle infrastructure solutions.”

“Our programmes are designed to give participants real-world experience, allowing them to work alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry.”

Jeremiah Kimuli, Graduate IT Analyst for Amey, said: "I’m really excited to be joining Amey as a Graduate IT Analyst as part of the 2024 Early Careers cohort. The business’s use of technology and leadership in UK infrastructure were key factors in my decision to join the scheme. I can’t wait to dive into my role and contribute to meaningful projects. I’m looking forward to learning, growing, and working alongside a talented team to make a real impact."

Cody Rees, Rail Apprentice for Amey, said: “The opportunity to learn and develop at a company that has a longstanding history transforming UK infrastructure is what initially attracted me to Amey’s apprenticeship scheme. So far, my time at Amey has been fantastic; I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by great people who have welcomed me into the Rail team and have been eager to offer me any support. I look forward to progressing my career with such a great company.”
