Identifying veteran employees, Amey uses both formal and informal methods to identify and track veteran employees. Military affiliation can be recorded via the HR system during onboarding, and employees are encouraged to self-identify at any point in their careers. The Armed Forces Network (AFNet) also provides a route for individuals to connect, access support, and share their Service background. The company regularly engages with its internal Armed Forces community to refine support initiatives and ensure military voices are heard within policy and leadership forums.

These insights help inform strategic decision-making and create a stronger environment for all employees with Service backgrounds. Recruiting veterans, veterans are a key talent pool for Amey, and the company actively recruits from the Armed Forces community through partnerships with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), BuildForce, Forces Families Jobs and Forces Transition Group. It advertises roles on military-focused platforms and attends job fairs, resettlement briefings and career transition events across the UK.

Amey’s dedicated Service to Success Programme provides Service leavers with a direct route into employment. The programme includes a guaranteed interview scheme for veterans who meet essential criteria, and tailored support is available throughout the application process. The company also offers CV writing guidance and interview preparation for those transitioning from military life. Dedicated pathways, the Service to Success Programme is a structured route for veterans into Amey. It includes a military-to-civilian skills matrix tool on the company’s website, helping veterans identify roles that match their experience. For example, logistics, engineering, project management and health and safety roles often align well with military skill sets. On entry, veterans receive a tailored onboarding experience that reflects their background and needs. Many are paired with mentors from the Armed Forces Network who provide informal peer support and guidance during the early stages of employment.
