We caught up with Olivia Simmonds, Business Graduate at Amey, to discuss her time at the firm.
What achievement are you most proud of since joining Amey?
I am most proud of the position I held on Amey's Shadow Board. The board's purpose is to address employee issues and workplace improvements.
I had the opportunity to solo present, pitching ways to make the Amey offices more inviting and inclusive. I am happy to have been involved in improving the Career Progression Framework and adding more variety to the technology that staff use on-site.
Overall, it was a privilege to have contributed to positive change within Amey.
Do you get many learning and development opportunities?
The business graduate programme at Amey has provided a wealth of opportunities, including daily interactions with senior team members who provide valuable guidance. In every team I have been a part of, individuals in more senior positions have been instrumental in my development, providing advice and support. Throughout the duration of my program, I have acquired a multitude of on-the-job business skills essential for success within the industry.
Beyond on-the-job training, I was encouraged to pursue the APMP bidding qualification and am currently in the process of applying for a Level 7 senior leadership apprenticeship, further advancing my professional development.
