Amey: does its graduate programmes sponsor a UK visa?

NoGraduate Programmes

No. Amey does not sponsor its graduate programmes for international students who need a visa. Amey, the infrastructure engineering and support services group, runs two year graduate pathways across technical and business specialisms, including civil, structural, geotechnical and highways engineering, environment, project management, commercial and procurement. Its early careers page says applications for its 2027 Early Careers pathways are open now, and the board lists dozens of graduate roles in locations from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Birmingham, Bedford, Liverpool and Belfast, plus some in Dublin. A sample Graduate Civil Engineer role in Edinburgh starts in September 2027 at £31,000, asks for a 2:1 in civil or structural engineering and a full UK driving licence, and warns the vacancy may close early. The careers FAQ says applicants must evidence their right to live and work in the UK and that Amey is unable to support work permits except in the rare case of a critical skills shortage.

The catch: Roles have no fixed closing date and may close early once enough applications arrive, so applying in October beats waiting. Many roles also ask for a full UK driving licence.
