Building Surveying Apprenticeship
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 in Winchester in the Local Government sector within our Consult engine.
Delivering for everyone, everywhere. The work of government never stands still: changing requirements necessitates adaptation and evolution. And so too, their estates. The public sector faces many challenges when delivering projects and programmes for the communities they serve. From building homes to modernising leisure facilities there are tight timescales. Pressed budgets. Constantly changing political priorities.
Our team provides a range of services to both public and private sector regeneration clients, from project managing large programmes of work for social housing providers, to scheme design and placemaking. And our development team are specialists in initiating and bringing forward new schemes, working in partnership with investors and stakeholders to create vibrant new communities.
In our Consult engine, you’ll be part of a global think tank where innovation and sustainability take the lead. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their individual challenges, lending new ideas and fresh thinking to make strategic decisions and shape project directions. We will follow our clients where they work, often sharing their locations.
Whilst we visit projects and sites, Consult is more about delivery of creative solutions than hardhats. If on-site action speaks to you more, our Construct engine might be your scene – check out the hands-on roles we have there, where you’ll be turning plans into reality on the ground.
What you’ll do
In Building Surveying, you will play a key role in assisting with the delivery of professional Building Surveying services, developing working knowledge to inspect building fabric systems for the purposes of asset management reporting and construction project delivery.

- Supporting the preparation of reports, specifications and contractual documents to assist with the management of construction projects

- Adhering to good practice implementation of Health & Safety and Quality Assurance.
- Providing support for project survey data analysis and assists with general discipline administration
- Supporting with general administration assistance and support to team members/project
You will also work towards completing a five-year L6 Chartered Surveyor (Building Surveying) apprenticeship, where you’ll achieve a BSc (Hons) Building Surveying degree. We will also support you in gaining professional membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
What we can offer you
We see every challenge as an opportunity to dream bigger and bring ambitions to life. When you start your journey with us, you’ll get structured on-the-job training and real responsibility, right from the get-go. With support from industry-leading colleagues, and a wealth of exposure to the variety of services we offer our clients, we’ll invest in you and your future. No holding back.
