Amey expands early-careers hiring for infrastructure roles

Amey has announced a significant increase in early-careers opportunities, recruiting apprentices, graduates, and trainees across its infrastructure, highways, and facilities divisions. The expansion reflects sustained order books and a strategic push to build skills in-house, particularly in digital systems, engineering, and sustainable operations.

For fleet managers and service businesses, a larger pool of trained technicians and mobile engineers should ease some of the workforce pressures that have plagued the sector since the pandemic. Well-trained field teams are essential for maximising vehicle uptime, maintaining connected telematics, and rolling out electric vans safely; any investment in skills benefits the entire supply chain.

Companies planning their own recruitment should watch how major contractors structure apprenticeships around new technology—especially EVs, route optimisation software, and remote diagnostics. Partnering with colleges or sharing training resources can reduce costs and improve retention, and there may be grant funding available for green-skills programmes in the South West.

Bluepoppy supports fleet transitions that make life easier for drivers and engineers alike, from EV charging logistics to driver training and digital handover packs. If you're scaling your mobile workforce or introducing new vehicle technology, a Fleet Cost Review will help you plan the people side as well as the metal. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Bluepoppy view: Investing in apprentices and new tech together builds the skilled, adaptable workforce every service fleet will need over the next decade.
