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 at HS2 Curzon Street Station in Birmingham within our Construct engine.

The landmark HS2 Curzon Street Station, which will be net zero carbon in operation, will be the first brand new intercity terminus station built in Britain since the 19th century. Mace Dragados Joint Venture (MDJV) commenced the construction phase of the station in 2024, which will sit at the heart of the high-speed rail network. Curzon Street will be the catalyst for development for Birmingham’s Eastside and Digbeth quarters, bringing seemless connectivity and kickstarting wider regeneration in the area.

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.
