2024 Apprenticeship Programme – Health, Safety and Wellbeing (Construct) – London (September start)

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 lifecycle to help our clients, people, communities and society achieve more than they believe is possible.
 
The opportunity 
 
This role starts in early September 2024, and is based in London within our Construct engine.
 
The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is at the foundation of everything we do. Driven by Mace’s ‘Safety first’ value, we are clear that our people and supply chain must go home safe and well at the end of every day. We are redefining the boundaries of ambition for our industry, continuing to build on our health, safety and wellbeing culture as we do so. This takes visible leadership, innovation and the commitment of every single one of our people, partners and clients.
 
Key to the day-to-day achievement of embedding our safety culture are the five elements we believe are essential in achieving ‘Safety first’. Standards. Leadership. Engagement. Behaviour. Work environment. The evolution of all five are critical to success and by working closely with our clients and supply chain partners to identify, prevent and manage occupational health risks, we continue to demonstrate our global leadership in creating and operating the healthy workplaces of the future - from our own offices and construction sites, to those of our clients.
 
In our Construct engine, you’ll be right where the action unfolds. We turn blueprints into tangible reality, coordinating on-site operations and logistics that make projects come alive. From building more safely and sustainably to adopting radical new methods of offsite delivery, our construct engine is leading the way in our sector. Based mainly on-site, we thrive on creating opportunity and building with purpose to deliver for our clients. If advising and partnering with clients is more your thing, our Consult engine might be your calling – check out the roles we have there, where you’ll shape projects from behind the scenes.

In Health, Safety and Wellbeing, you will play a key role in supporting the Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) team and projects. Some of your main responsibilities will include:

  • Working collaboratively towards the common goal of net zero carbon transition, and sharing responsibility for the proactive identification and management of the associated carbon emissions and reductions during the delivery of work. 
You will also work towards completing a Level 3 Safety, Health and Environment Technician apprenticeship, where you will receive a NEBOSH General Certificate. We will also support you in gaining professional membership of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
