Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Our values shape the way we consult and define the people we want to join us on our journey.

The Role

The role is for a developer specializing in the development of applied AI solutions, including knowledge agents embedded in SharePoint. It is a client-facing role supporting fee-earning projects and programmes.

As part of your role, you will interface with the Mace project team and occasionally stakeholders from other organisations, if working on a joint venture project or directly for a client. You will be part of the Digital Centre of Excellence community, sharing knowledge and experience with other Digital professionals. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from and amongst experienced practitioners and further develop your technical skill set.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Working autonomously on smaller or low complexity projects, or as part of a larger project team responsible for a particular deliverable or area of delivery.
  • The principal responsibility of the role is to contribute to the development of digital tools, processes, and outputs, including agentic data interfaces, that support the wider project team and enable better delivery of projects for our clients.
  • You will be expected to adhere to a structured development lifecycle that includes requirements definition, design, development and testing, user acceptance testing, deployment, handover, and post-implementation support.
  • You should be able to gather basic requirements and create a task list to manage your own deliverables, including maintaining regular contact with direct stakeholders.
  • You will be expected to attend all training and other sessions organised by the centre of excellence, contributing through presentation of sessions or content aligned to your interests.
  • You must take responsibility for keeping your knowledge of commercial AI models and tools up to date through self-directed learning and independent exploration of new tools and functionality.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You’ll need to have:

  • Experience designing and building AI agents or agentic workflows that retrieve, compare, reason over, and summarise enterprise content.
  • Ability to design traceable outputs with citations and audit trails, with the ability to explain where AI is summarising source material versus creating new content.
  • Strong hands-on capability across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Power Platform, including some experience of Copilot for 365 and Copilot Studio.
  • Ability to build or integrate with document stores, structured registers, and unstructured files, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, SharePoint libraries, metadata, and version histories.
  • Strong general software engineering fundamentals: clean code, modular design, testing, CI/CD, secure deployment, and maintainability.
  • Ability to estimate cost, usage, and operational run-rate for AI solutions.
  • A level of comfort designing model-agnostic architectures where required.
  • Evidence of building solutions where explainability and adoption matter as much as technical capability.
