We spoke to Aaliyah, Graduate Civil Engineer at Amey, to learn more about life at the firm.
What has been your biggest achievement since joining Amey?
As a graduate engineer at Amey, I have had the privilege of being part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team, where every day presents new opportunities for growth and innovation. Reflecting on my journey with the company, one achievement that stands out to me since joining Amey has been my role in producing safe systems of work for numerous site visits to address a scheme that required immediate attention. This was a crucial aspect prior to going on site to eliminate identified hazards (where possible) and complete site investigations with minimum risk. This was an achievement early on after joining Amey given the limited timeframe and experience I had before completing it.
Do you get many learning and development opportunities?
I hoped to gain a deeper understanding into how an engineer’s work in the office was developed and constructed on site. At Amey, I have had the opportunity to visit sites that I would work on in the future as well as being involved in client meetings before the design stage to recognise the development of a scheme. Through regular meetings with other graduates and the early careers team, I have also had the opportunity to build essential skills through workshops and training sessions. Moving forward, I am excited to continue developing my skills in engineering and embrace new challenges.
