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 four-year Apprenticeship 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.
The opportunity
Role: Project Management Apprenticeship
Start date: Early September 2026
Location: London
Business: Mace Consult
Sector: Private Sector
Apprenticeship: Level 6 Chartered Surveyor (Project Management) Apprenticeship
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 dynamic environment where adaptability, curiosity and integrity drive everything we do.
The Central Government sector demands joined-up thinking to deliver efficient, sustainable and future-ready estates, infrastructure and services. From rationalising estates and restoring cultural assets to building schools, hospitals and prisons, government departments face ambitious timescales, tight budgets and complex political priorities. We combine consultancy expertise with construction delivery to help governments in the UK and worldwide turn policy into reality – creating places that improve communities, support resilience and meet sustainability goals. Join us in Central Government and you’ll help deliver projects that improve public services, strengthen communities and shape a better future for everyone.
Note: While you’ll start in a specific team, client-facing roles naturally evolve over time, offering the chance to work with different clients, teams and sectors across Mace Consult as projects and priorities change.
What you’ll do
In Project Management (Consultancy), you will support projects to deliver the agreed outcomes within time, cost, and quality requirements, coordinating with all relevant parties to understand and deliver project objectives set out in the project plans. Some of your main responsibilities will include:
- Working with the project team to assist in the delivery of the project objectives in line with the Project Plan
- Monitoring and actively engaging in relevant Health, Safety and Wellbeing standards aspects of the project at all stages
- Assisting in the preparation and modifications of the project plans and keeping them updated and relevant over the course of the project(s)
- Collaborating with relevant parties/stakeholders and ensuring robust quality systems are suitably managed and monitored in line with Service Excellence
- Attending and recording relevant meetings, providing relevant parties with contextual information and analysis, including regular site walks
- Partnering with relevant stakeholders and being actively involved in risk management and mitigation treatments
- Assisting in tracking project changes and ensuring they are processed and formalised within the agreed timeframes
- Assisting in providing handover documentation prior to practical completion
- Understanding the business’ priorities through Construction to Production, Digital & Data and Responsible Business
- Supporting the project and programme management team activities relating to external/third-party client appointments
- Conducting research, analysis, record-keeping and other supporting activities to ensure timely and accurate information to contribute to delivery of project management operation
- Identifying solutions to issues that are generally defined (but not always immediately evident) and require problem-solving
You will also work towards completing a five-year Level 6 Chartered Surveyor (Project Management) apprenticeship, where you’ll achieve a BSc (Hons) Construction Management degree. We will also support you in gaining professional membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Alongside your development, you’ll receive a wide range of benefits, including:
- A permanent role from the moment you join

About you
- A minimum of 96 UCAS points

Given the nature of our work, flexibility is key.

To support this, Mace Consult offers travel expense reimbursements for business travel, including mileage, public transport fares, and, where necessary, accommodation.

- Values – safety first, client focus, create opportunity, integrity
