Project Controls Graduate - Resilience

At Mace Consult, we combine leading-edge practical expertise with programme and project delivery consultancy skills to unlock the potential in every project, every place, and every person. From iconic skyscrapers to sustainable communities, we turn ambitious ideas into reality.

On our two-year Graduate Programme, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects from the very start. Whether it’s shaping sustainable places, creating smarter infrastructure, or helping clients solve complex challenges, you’ll play a real part in projects that make a lasting difference – to people, to places, and to the planet.

At Mace Consult, you’ll help shape the projects and programmes that change skylines and communities. Working closely with clients and partners, you’ll bring ideas to life through smart thinking, collaboration and innovation. No two days are the same – it’s a changeable environment where adaptability, curiosity and integrity drive everything we do.

The Resilience sector – spanning nuclear, energy and utilities – underpins safe, sustainable growth and plays a vital role in powering our future. With rising populations, economic uncertainty and the global drive to net zero, the challenge is to deliver reliable, affordable and low‑carbon infrastructure that communities can depend on. We bring collaboration, innovation and modern delivery methods to projects across design, construction, decommissioning and waste management – helping clients strengthen resilience and create long‑term value.

Join us in Resilience and you’ll help deliver the essential infrastructure that keeps the lights on, water flowing and communities thriving.
