Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Mace?
My experience at Mace has been incredibly positive. The Graduate Scheme provided a strong foundation, introducing me to the role and equipping me with the necessary training to succeed. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to deepen my expertise in both MEP systems and sustainability, which has been invaluable for my professional development. The supportive environment and exposure to diverse projects have helped me grow my skills and confidence significantly.
