Amey: does its year-in-industry placements sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyYear-in-Industry Placements

Unconfirmed. Amey publishes no sponsorship policy for its year-in-industry placements, so we cannot state a firm answer. Amey's Year-in-Industry placements last between 9 and 12 months and are for undergraduates, across engineering, design, finance, project management and business management in the UK and Dublin. A sample Industry Placement in Structures, offered in Newcastle and Exeter, starts in September 2027, pays £26,582 and asks for students currently on a Bachelor's or Master's in civil or structural engineering. The early careers page says 2027 applications are open now. The placement adverts say nothing about visas; Amey's general careers FAQ says it does not support work permit applications except in rare skills shortages, which matters less for students whose university sponsors their placement year.
