Description
About MACE
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
Start date: Early September 2025
Location: London
Sector: Health and Safety
Engine: Construct
Apprenticeship: Level 3 Safety, Health and Environment Technician
The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is at the foundation of everything we do. Driven by Mace’s ‘Safety first’ value, we are clear that our people and supply chain must go home safe and well at the end of every day. We are redefining the boundaries of ambition for our industry, continuing to build on our health, safety and wellbeing culture as we do so. This takes visible leadership, innovation and the commitment of every single one of our people, partners and clients.
Key to the day-to-day achievement of embedding our safety culture are the five elements we believe are essential in achieving ‘Safety first’. Standards. Leadership. Engagement. Behaviour. Work environment. The evolution of all five are critical to success and by working closely with our clients and supply chain partners to identify, prevent and manage occupational health risks, we continue to demonstrate our global leadership in creating and operating the healthy workplaces of the future – from our own offices and construction sites, to those of our clients.
In our ‘Construct’ engine, you’ll be at the forefront of bringing projects to life. Primarily site-based, this engine focuses on the hands-on delivery of complex and innovative construction projects, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and to the highest standards. If you enjoy working in a practical environment where your efforts lead to visible results, Construct is the place for you. If you prefer advising and partnering with clients to shape the strategic direction and management of our projects, consider exploring roles in our ‘Consult’ engine, which focuses on driving projects from concept through to completion.
