I chose Mace - here is why you should too

I joined Mace in September 2021 following my degree in Environmental Science and now I am a Sustainability Assistant. I wanted to join Mace because pursuing a sustainable world is one of their priorities and I wanted to work for a company which aligns with my own values.

A project you wish you could have worked on and why?

I would have loved to have worked on the Shard. Not only because it is the most iconic landmark on London’s skyline, but also because it was a pioneer at the time in terms of sustainability. Rated BREEAM ‘Excellent’, with 95% of its construction materials coming from recycled sources, it is a great example of sustainable construction.

What does my role include?

My role is very varied, working on multiple projects across the consult and construct engines. For my consult projects, such as Northern Trust, I measure, report and reduce their corporate carbon emissions by undertaking analysis of energy data.

For construct, there is a greater emphasis on reducing the noise, vibration and dust associated with construction projects, as well as ensuring biodiversity is prioritised and green building certifications are met.

If you from 3 years ago could see you now, what would they think?

I think they would be thrilled that I secured a graduate job right in the city of London, working for a global company that offers great international opportunities. They would be pleased that I am enjoying it, whilst working and learning from some incredible colleagues who are leaders in the sustainability field.
