Project Controls Graduate - Mobility

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 two-year Graduate 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.

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 changeable environment where adaptability, curiosity and integrity drive everything we do.

The Rail sector is vital to placemaking, regeneration and connecting people with jobs, education and opportunity. As populations grow and demand for sustainable transport increases, rail networks must balance the needs of passengers, freight and operators while delivering efficient, low-carbon and accessible services. We combine consultancy expertise with construction delivery to create stations and infrastructure that are more than stopping points – they become destinations that add social and economic value.

From London to New York, we’ve helped transform stations into thriving hubs for communities. Join us in Rail and you’ll help deliver projects that connect people, drive regeneration and support a greener future.

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.
