Key Midlands Frameworks
Midlands Highway Alliance (MHA): This framework enables us to collaborate directly with 21 local authorities, delivering essential highway infrastructure and maintenance projects. The MHA contract encompasses a variety of tasks, from routine maintenance and upgrades to innovative highway design solutions. The scale and diversity of this framework provide ample opportunities to work on a wide range of civil engineering challenges and showcase your expertise in highway design, management, and construction.
Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF): The SDF framework is managed in collaboration with Highways England, the government agency responsible for overseeing the maintenance and improvement of the country’s motorways and major A roads. The SDF covers a comprehensive range of civil engineering projects, including highways, bridges, and more. As part of this framework, you will have the opportunity to work on both major and minor schemes, contributing to the successful delivery of projects that enhance the built environment. The SDF is particularly focused on delivering sustainable, efficient solutions, and you will have the chance to apply cutting-edge technologies and methods to ensure that projects meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability.
Staffordshire Infrastructure Plus: Our partnership with Staffordshire County Council under this long-term contract has delivered over £100m worth of major transport infrastructure projects. The partnership has successfully supported the creation of over 12,000 new jobs and 10,000 new homes, making it a cornerstone of regional growth and development. This contract is a perfect opportunity for engineers who are passionate about creating real-world impact through large-scale infrastructure projects that contribute to local communities.
These frameworks allow Amey to deliver high-quality, innovative, and sustainable engineering solutions across the Midlands. They also provide a diverse range of opportunities for personal and professional development, whether you are working on long-term, high-value projects or smaller, community-focused initiatives. With these frameworks in place, you will have the opportunity to influence infrastructure projects that shape the region’s future.
