The opportunity
Start date: Early September 2025
Location: London
Sector: Infrastructure
Engine: Construct
Apprenticeship: Level 4 Construction Site Supervisor
Delivering commercial property to clients is how Mace crafted its world class reputation. Around the world our projects have redefined the commercial market – setting new standards and creating long-standing relationships with our valued partners – and we’re only just getting started. Our expert teams provide tailor made frameworks and partnerships, right from due diligence through to project and programme management, move and change management. We are working on some of the most exciting projects across corporate fit outs, manufacturing, data centres, innovation hubs and customer facing facilities.
In our Construct engine, you’ll be right where the action unfolds. We turn blueprints into tangible reality, coordinating on-site operations and logistics that make projects come alive. From building more safely and sustainably to adopting radical new methods of offsite delivery, our construct engine is leading the way in our sector. Based mainly on-site, we thrive on creating opportunity and building with purpose to deliver for our clients. If advising and partnering with clients is more your thing, our Consult engine might be your calling – check out the roles we have there, where you’ll shape projects from behind the scenes.

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. To support this, Mace offers travel expense reimbursements for business travel, including mileage, public transport fares, and, where necessary, accommodation.
