Work Placements

If you think the built environment is the industry for you, but want to get some real experience, Mace can help you. We offer a number of one-year placements for undergraduates wishing to spend their third year in industry. We also offer short-term employment opportunities for students wishing to work with Mace during academic breaks.

The scheme allows you to put your learning into practice and also enhances your skills and knowledge. Mace placement employees return to college or university with a greater understanding of the industry, working life and their specialist field.

It is a source of great pride that the vast majority of our placement students want to return to Mace on completion of their studies and that many successfully apply for a place on our well respected management training programme.
Most work placements are based on project sites which is ideal if you are studying for a construction-related degree such as construction management, project management for construction, quantity surveying with commercial management, or building services.

As well as on the job learning, we will also train you in areas such as:

• Career management
• Personal development
• Technical processes and systems

"Mace are rated so highly by their graduates because they produce outstanding projects across the world and because they 'are a really good company to work for; they value and look after their staff and invest heavily in them to train them and progress them through the ranks'." The JobCrowd.com, 2011

Note: If you are a graduate or undergraduate (looking for a 12 month placement) and interested in starting your career at Mace, unfortunately the graduate management training programme has now closed for 2012 applications. However, if you would like to apply for next year's intake, please revisit our website in October 2012."
