Application Advice:
Choose a path within the geotechnical industry that best suits your skill set, i.e. if you prefer site work and being outside then focus on planning and implementation of GI, also try the design aspects at an early stage to see if it suits you.
If applying to become a geotechnical engineer I would suggest working as an engineering geologist for a year or so at a smaller contractor firm to gain the practical on site experience which will benefit you when planning ground Investigation works in the future. Or at least gain work experience in this sector prior to application.

Be honest with experience, let the employer know that you intend to try all aspects of the role and that both design and site work interests you, make it clear that you are willing to work outside on site potentially at weekends or night shifts.

Application Advice:
Although Amey is typically known for being an 'engineering' or 'construction' company, this does not mean you need an engineering degree to work here. The Graduate Management Scheme accepts people from all degree disciplines and values behaviours and experience over degree subject.
Interview Advice:
Research! There is plenty of information on the Amey website to give you an overview of the type of business we are, the opportunities available and what the graduate scheme is about. Researching the business and its competitors shows your interest and enthusiasm for the role. It is quite clear when a candidate is applying for 'any graduate scheme available', they often lack passion and knowledge about the role.
Most importantly, be yourself and show your personality rather than trying to be someone else.

Application Advice:
There are requirements for the graduate scheme, including a 2:1 degree, which is the most important requirement.
You must be prepared to travel around for a two year period for the graduate scheme. It is more than likely that you will have to work away from your home location for the duration of the scheme and change is inevitable.
Interview Advice:
Key values for Amey include being Progressive, Accountable, Collaborative and Effective, so show these traits and talk about them. The more you can learn and understand about Amey before interview, the better.
You must be self-confident but not over-powering. Individuals at the assessments who are over-dominating, often come across as aggressive and this doesn't reflect well. Amey are keen to employ people who are understanding and diplomatic, so be friendly as well as knowledgeable.

Graduate Civil Engineer, Consulting at AmeyRead the full review »
Application Advice:
As with all jobs, if you show your passion for the subject it will stand you in a good position. I left a small consultancy to come to Amey and by reading up about the company and the contracts first, I was able to tailor my interview preparation appropriately which helped me have a successful interview. Show that you will be a committed individual and make them want you in their team.
Interview Advice:
One main interview advice would be that highlight areas where mistakes were made. Everyone can talk 100% about what went well. I wouldn't say that you should go in and say that everything went wrong and we lost contracts etc, but show how you dealt with the situation and what you have learnt and how it was resolved. This shows more character to the interviewer than someone who always focuses on the positives. I can tell you now that I have made errors on projects as im sure others have, its about how you reacted and what you did to resolve this or make the best of the situation. Bring examples of projects also if they are relevant to the job role. Don't be afraid to interview the interviewer about the company and the office as they will see that you are interested to know more.

Be honest in your answers during the application stage. Take your time to really consider the questions and be prepared to have to answer some curveballs in your telephone interview. I got asked to tell a joke so have one handy just in case...
In your written application stage, make sure you detail where what you have done has made a difference, or has demonstrated your skills effectively. They won't be expecting you to know everything but you need to show that you can be dynamic and have the capacity to learn and grow into the Amey culture
Interview Advice:
Be honest, open and most of all, yourself. Do your research into the company, it is not a construction company, it is a service provider. Have knowledge on the vast majority of services that the company offers. Read up on the website about the culture as this is something that Amey values and will be looking for in you when you interview. Be flexible, in both geographical location, and job role, the nature of the business requires it. Demonstrate common sense and a willingness to work hard and deliver.

Application Advice:
Be very flexible in your approach to taking this role, i.e being able to travel as Amey do have a range of various contracts in utilities and highways which need resources to fill any gaps at times through its resource management tool streamline. You will be challenged which is to be expected when starting as a graduate, however encounter that challenge as it pays dividends for yourself in the future.
Interview Advice:
Be very flexible in your approach to taking this role, i.e being able to travel as Amey do have a rage of various contracts in utilities and highways. A master degree is probably at the top of the agenda as so many graduates from university now attain masters, there's lots of competition for these roles. Experience is again vitally important, especially within the highways sector. Amey are very good at advertising and enthusiastic about summer placements, and through good impressions they are more than likely to take on someone that has already worked within the amey environment. Also look into the contracts that Amey have and the work that they are involved in, you'd be suprised. If you mention this at the interview, i.e via through look on Amey's website or even an arcticle on the NCE involving an Amey engineer then they might be impressed.

Application Advice:
Come with an open mind, nearly everyone (myself included) underestimate how big and complex the railway engineering industry is. It is one of the few booming industries in the country at the moment.
Interview Advice:
Do some research before the interview. If you are applying for a graduate or entry level job your interviewer will not expect you to have detailed knowledge, but a quick read of railway signalling on wikipedia (as an example from my section of the railway) or looking into what projects you might be involved in will always look good in the interviewers eyes.
Always have a set of questions you want to ask, write them down on pad and have the pad out during the interview. if and when the interviewer answers a question you have before you get to answer it make a point of crossing it out that way if you get to the end of an interview and most of your questions have already been addressed (as has happend to me before) you can still demonstrate you put some thought into what you want to get out of the interview.

Graduate Quantity Surveyor, Sub-Stations at AmeyRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Read up on the company. As I said before, so few people have heard of Amey. There are so many opportunities and roles within the company, including working abroad. Be open about what you want out of the role. If you don't ask you don't get, and if you're wanting to attain further professional qualifications you need to ensure that you will be put into several roles to achieve a wide range of experience. Having experience in the industry obviously helps but I went into the role without any placement so don't feel that lack of experience will be a detriment to your application.
Interview Advice:
The interview I went to was a whole day and consisted of 3 parts: a one-to-one interview; a group exercise; and a written exercise. The one-to-one interview was about 15-30mins and it's more to get to know you, and what has inspired you to get to where you are now. At the end of the interview I was also asked to draw bending moments so read up on those! For the group exercise we were put into groups of 3 and given a project brief and had to come up with a solution. We then had to give a presentation to the group of interviewers. The written exercise was based on 1 question, for which I could not offer much advice as the question was not based on Amey in particular, and would change at each interview. I can only recommend reading up on current and future engineering projects. Most importantly, just be yourself!
