Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Attended presentations by employees on the graduate scheme, completed team work challenges such as a spaghetti tower competition, took part in a site visit in an active site managed by Mace in the city centre, and attended a networking event.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
They gave very detailed presentations on all the roles available and answered all questions on the details of these. We heard from construction managers, project managers and quantity surveyors and learnt what each of these roles entailed. We were also given an in depth presentation on the graduate scheme process, tips on interviews, and other placement opportunities they offered (e.g summer/year long).
