At Mace, our purpose is to redefine the boundaries of ambition. We believe in creating places that are responsible, bringing transformative impact to our people, communities, and societies across the globe. To learn more about our purpose, culture, and priorities, visit our strategy site. Within our construction business, we harness our unique combination of leading-edge practical expertise and project delivery consultancy to unlock the potential in every project.

We are hiring ambitious and forward-thinking design managers, with varying levels of experience, to join our established and growing team at Heathrow.

The project:

Mace is the delivery partner for Heathrow across several programmes:

• The Commercial Programme aims to give passengers the best airport service in the world whilst protecting existing revenue and unlocking additional revenue sources.
• The Asset Management and Compliance (AMC) programme maintains physical and technological assets, keeping colleagues and consumers safe, ensuring critical functions are operational, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
• The Efficient Airport Programme (EAP) aims to improve Heathrow’s resilience, efficiency, and service standards to provide more predictable and reliable journeys while delivering operational productivity and capacity optimization.

Due to a strong pipeline, several projects within these programmes require resources with different backgrounds (MEP and Architectural preferred).

Our values shape the way we consult and define the people we want to join us on our journey:
