    At Mace, we’re global experts in shaping the built environment – helping to lead the way to a more connected, resilient and sustainable world. From development and consultancy, to construction and operations, we connect expertise across the entire property lifecycle to help our clients, people, communities and society achieve more than they believe is possible.

    The opportunity

    This role starts in early September 2024, and is based in London in the Commercial sector within our Consult engine. 

    Experienced teams driving value and efficiency. Our people and teams have a wealth of first hand experience throughout the property lifecycle, they understand how to maximise property assets, boost efficiency, rationalisation programmes and deliver the highest quality building. This drives value into every project and programme – whether commercial offices, retail, mixed-use, property or corporate real estate – with our team striving to save costs while also delivering effective and efficient property assets. 

    Redefining service barriers. Core to our approach is client focus. Blending our construction expertise with our consultancy, we have helped our partners accomplish their goals faster and more efficiently. By redefining the service barriers, we have successfully managed to forge close bonds with our clients, crafting a long term working relationship that makes repeat business effortless. 

    In our Consult engine, you’ll be part of a global think tank where innovation and sustainability take the lead. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their individual challenges, lending new ideas and fresh thinking to make strategic decisions and shape project directions. We will follow our clients where they work, often sharing their locations. Whilst we visit projects and sites, Consult is more about delivery of creative solutions than hardhats. If on-site action speaks to you more, our Construct engine might be your scene – check out the hands-on roles we have there, where you’ll be turning plans into reality on the ground.
