Company profile

20 Infrastructure Intelligence | October 2014

In the last three months Amey has won its first job in America looking after Dallas highways with joint

venture partner Webber and with another partner, Keolis, is taking on the operation of the Docklands Light Railway for the next six and a half years. It has also confirmed its reputation in the rail sector by being selected for Network Rail’s electrification and plant framework.

For David Spencer, new managing director of the company’s consulting business who joined just three months ago, these wins have more than confirmed that his move from Capita’s property division was a good decision.

“I can’t take any credit, but things have gone far better than I ever expected,” he says. He had been watching how infrastructure has become increasingly appreciated as a way of driving the economy. “I’m a civil engineer. Infrastructure is what I love. I realised that this was the right time to move somewhere with a particular focus on infrastructure and that is what Amey is all about. It is concentrated on infrastructure from investment through delivery to operation and maintenance.”

Back in February the business, as part of the DBFO also reached financial close on the £500M M8/M73/M74 deal to build and maintain motorway in Scotland and Spencer is enjoying being involved in developing the operation and maintenance strategy for the roads.

“I am very interested in how we get the most out of our existing

What is it like to work for Amey’s consulting business? New managing director David Spencer gives his view after three months at the helm and three colleagues share the stories of their working lives.

Infrastructure “is what we are about”

“We like to make the best of everyone and find the right roles and ways of working to suit them.”

infrastructure and in particular running it smarter and more efficiently,” he says.

As managing director of the consulting business he leads a team of around 3000 which is growing at somepace.

“It is a great place to be for consultants and design engineers who like to work in an organisation which understands how to deliverthings. Working with colleagues on implementing solutions is a very rewarding career,” he says.

“The key thing for us is to be able to relate to our customers, adaptingwhat we do in terms of consulting astheir needs change and evolve.” That is external customers and also customerswithin Amey itself and the parent company Ferrovial. The plan is also to add new sectors and services such asutilities and power to the Amey portfolio.

“We have a lot of experienced peoplebut there is always room for more aswe grow and diversify – people with a variety of skills and level of experience.We like to make the best of everyoneand find the right roles and ways of working to suit them.

“I am finding that Amey is a very agile organisation that offers a lot of flexibility, fascinating projects and opportunity for career development.We are an ambitious and growingorganisation and there is room for all to come and help us.” by Jackie Whitelaw

Charles Oldham Associate director

My job is to create a Strategic Consultancy Teamfor Amey. Our business is focused around improving the performance of businesses that depend on infrastructure assets.

We are addressing the technology questions in infrastructure using data and analytics to understand how assetsare performing and to forecast future cost risk and performance which allowsmore effective planning.

The team is largely made up of infrastructure engineers with analytic or software skills. This allows us tocombine technical knowledge withdata gathering and use the information that has been collected, sometimes for many years, to form an understanding of assets.

We are diversifying into such areas as remote monitoring and the use of the vast amount of SCADA type data that is being collected, but is largely unused and then the implementation of change that is required to use assets more effectively.

Working with Amey I have beenable to build a team of very bright and motivated consultants many of whom, but not all, are at the start of their careers.

I am really enjoying the intellectual challenge of the job and the opportunity to work with bright and interesting people.

Emma RobertsCivil engineer, roads

I am currently working onAmey’s Transport Scotland South East Trunk Road Unit contract, managing the design of structural maintenance schemes onthe network. Amey has helped train me from school and next year I willbe hopefully becoming a charteredengineer with ICE via the technicalreport route.

The biggest benefit I have found in my time at Amey has been the multiple opportunities that are available and the varying work on all sorts of different projects and contracts to get involved with.

I joined the company part time in2004 after a summer placement andwhile studying for an HNC in civilengineering. After my HNC I askedthe business to sponsor me to go touniversity, also part time on a BSc (Hons)in environmental civil engineering.

I graduated in 2009, and with Amey’s training support achieved incorporatedengineer status in 2013 following my professional review with the Institutionof Civil Engineers (ICE).

My next career ambition is tofulfil the requirements to become asenior engineer within Amey and gainchartered status..

I’ve found that Amey is very committed to assisting with trainingand development of its staff and I will continue to get the support andmentoring I require to enable me tofurther my Professional Qualificationwith the ICE.

Albina JevsejevaGraduate engineer, railways

I have been withthe consultingbusiness for 14months and I am currently working ona resignalling scheme at Bromsgroveand another at Birmingham New Street along with culvert assessments elsewhere on the rail network.

I am finding that the benefit of working with Amey is the variety of projects I can get involved with. I havealso worked on a couple of bridge reassessment models for instance.

I am also very supported in my ICEtraining scheme. As a company, wealways operate as a team. It doesn’tmatter if a colleague is sitting nextto me or miles away in Scotland.We use technology so effectively tocommunicate, whether it is emails, Lync or phone conferences. And thecolleagues around me are always happy to help and if they cannot, they directme to someone who can.

I am also given quite a lot of responsibility. Each individual at Amey is responsible for delivering high quality work within given time constraints in acompetitive market place.

What attracted me to this businesswas that Amey is one of the few consulting companies that has thecapacity to deliver large scale projects at any stage of an asset’s life cycle. Thismeans I have the opportunity to gainexperience in a wide range of services.

An important aspect of Amey isthe safety culture. We put safety first through our Target Zero ethosand objectives and we all share ourknowledge and experience in order tomake things better. And safer.

“I am very interested in how we get the most out of our existing infrastructure and in particular running it smarter and more efficiently.”David Spencer
