Undergraduate Programmes

Discover your perfect role!

At Mace, placements are a great way to understand which opportunities and roles are best for you. We offer two pathways on our Undergraduate Programmes:

Summer Placements

Our Summer Placements are the perfect way to get a real taster of working in the industry.

  • Applications open to first, second or penultimate year undergraduates.
  • 10-week programme running from June through to September.
  • Successful placements will have the opportunity to be considered to return on another placement or our Graduate Programme.

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.

We offer placements across a range of disciplines that reflect the diverse sectors and services at Mace.

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.

What happens after the placement?

If you perform well on your placement, you could be made an offer to come back the following year to join another placement programme or the graduate development programme. 

Industrial Placements

If you want to make your year in industry count, then our Industrial Placement is an excellent way to get an ‘all-access’ experience to prepare you for your final year at university.

  • Applications are open to undergraduates in their penultimate year of study on a sandwich degree course.
  • 12-month programmes starting at the end of June.
  • Successful placements will have the opportunity to accelerate onto the Graduate Programme.

​​​​​​​Our industrial placements offer students the opportunity to undertake work experience for a year as part of a sandwich degree course.

On the job training will give you the support you need alongside a structured programme of training events, site visits, networking opportunities and mentoring, to make the most of your placement before you take your newly acquired knowledge back to your studies. You can even start working towards a professional chartership during your placement year.

Programme requirements

To join one of our Undergraduate Placement Programmes, you will need:

  • GCSE Maths and English grade 4/C or above (or equivalent qualifications) and be studying for a degree.
  • Additional requirements may vary depending on the role you are applying for – for some roles, you may need a degree in a particular subject area.

What happens after the placement?

If you perform well on your placement, you could be made an offer to come back the following year to join the graduate development programme. 

Mace Insight Day 

Our Insight Day is a fantastic opportunity for first and second year undergraduate students who are interested in a career in the construction industry but unsure which roles might suit them.

The day is designed to give you an overview of Mace, discuss career opportunities, and introduce you to some of our current and former graduates and senior colleagues.

You will receive presentations on our services and take part in interactive workshops. A visit to one of Mace’s projects will help you to understand how and why we do what we do.

What happens after the programme?

If you perform well on the programme, your experience with us could give you an advantage if you apply for our graduate or undergraduate opportunities.
