2022 Summer Placement – Strategic Advisory at Mace

About the company

This is our purpose. This is our promise. This is our legacy.

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 life cycle to help our clients, people, communities and society achieve more than they believe is possible.

Glass ceilings? Smashed.

Strategic Advisory work with clients to understand their issues and create innovative, ground-breaking solutions. We start with the issue, rather than an end point, and look to work with stakeholders to fully understand all the drivers and generate a range of solutions. Although we are part of a construction and consultancy business, many of our solutions don’t involve buildings and we work with a wide range of clients from across industries.

About the role

Our 10-week summer placements offer undergraduates who are in their first, second or penultimate year of university, practical work experience to support their studies over the summer break. 

After completing a one day induction at our head office in London, you will be placed on a live project where you will put what you have learned at university into practice under the guidance of industry leading professionals. 

During this Strategic Advisory Placement, you will work closely with clients and consultants in your team delivering strategic projects at the front end of the project lifecycle. As part of this role, you need to be flexible in your thinking, transferring between innovative ideas to analysing complex data. You will learn how data management and best practices, governance, processes, and modelling can drive significant efficiency and tangible cost savings for our clients.

Requirements

We’re looking for ambitious people who want to make a difference in the world, who want to succeed, and who aren’t afraid of barriers. Analytical people who challenge convention, innovate, and will proudly move our industry forward, with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for service excellence. We’re also looking for people who embody the same values as us: safety first, client focus, create opportunity, and integrity.You’ll need to be or have:

  • First, second or penultimate year undergraduate
