Meet Hamish McNeill: Engineering Degree Apprentice

By Amey

We caught up with Hamish, Engineering Degree Apprentice at Amey, to learn more about his experience at the firm. 

As an Early Careers employee, are you well supported within Amey?

Throughout my time as a degree apprentice at Amey, I have been extremely well supported by my managers and peers. Whether this be while working on brand new projects that I haven’t had any previous experience on, or by being allocated a buddy that helps to check and support my university work.

Amey’s commitment to skill development has been excellent. I have attended several skills workshops that have helped my professional and personal life, such as managing my own finances. I always feel well supported, with no hesitation to ask for help.

What has been your biggest lesson learnt whilst working in the business?

One valuable lesson which has stood out to me during my apprenticeship is the power of collaboration. Projects are very often a team effort and if everyone works and communicates well then, a lot of unnecessary issues can be avoided. I’ve come to appreciate that listening to my colleagues, learning from their experiences as well as sharing my own ideas will always lead to stronger outcome.
