At Mace, we are global consultants in programme and project delivery and construction experts. We help lead the way to a more connected, resilient, and sustainable future. Through our two business 'engines' – Consult and Construct – we bring to life iconic skyscrapers, state-of-the-art data centres, life science facilities, social infrastructure, and regeneration projects that support communities across the world.

The opportunity

As a graduate in our 2025 programme, you will play a key role in supporting our clients with cost management services from inception to completion for ongoing and new commissions. You will work closely with the project team to assist in the delivery of project objectives in line with the Project Plan.

  • Monitoring and actively engaging in relevant Health, Safety and Wellbeing standards aspects of the project at all stages
  • Assisting in the preparation and modifications of the project plans and keeping them updated and relevant over the course of the project(s)
  • Collaborating with relevant parties/stakeholders and ensuring robust quality systems are suitably managed and monitored in line with Service Excellence
  • Attending and recording relevant meetings, providing relevant parties with contextual information and analysis, including regular site walks

  • Conducting research, analysis, record-keeping and other supporting activities to ensure timely and accurate information to contribute to delivery of project management operation
  • Identifying solutions to issues that are generally defined (but not always immediately evident) and require problem-solving

You will also work towards gaining professional membership of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) fully funded and supported by us.

What we can offer you

Our two-year programme offers structured on-the-job training and real responsibility from day one. You'll work alongside experienced professionals, receive ongoing support from skilled mentors, and gain exposure to various areas of our business.

About you
  • A future or recent graduate with a bachelor's degree or higher in any subject

Given the nature of our work, flexibility is key. Our projects and clients are based in various locations, so you should be prepared to travel frequently to different project sites or Mace offices. A positive and adaptable approach to travel is therefore essential, as it may be a regular part of your role.

  • Values – safety first, client focus, create opportunity, and integrity
  • Behaviours – curious, collaborators, contributors, and champions of inclusion
