Within our consult and construct business, we harness our unique combination of leading-edge practical expertise and project delivery consultancy to unlock the potential in every project.

The project:
The Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games showed that true success, and a lasting impact, comes from collaboration between clients, advisors, and contractors. During this programme, our team introduced the NEC3 form of contract to the region, along with new methods of procurement and a 'one team' delivery approach, inspiring new ways of working and building stronger foundations for future success. Through our role on the UK Delivery Team working with the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes, we help to provide critical infrastructure across Peru following the damage caused by El Niño in 2017. The position allows us to oversee all the elements needed to successfully deliver a programme and to add maximum value by leveraging the existing strengths of the regional supply chains in combination with our international expertise. Since 2019 the UK Delivery Team, a joint venture between Mace, Gleeds & Arup have been working in agreement with both the UK & Peruvian Governments to support the reconstruction, construction and enhancement of infrastructure following severe damage caused by climate cycle El Niño Costero. These vital infrastructure projects operate under the NEC suite of contracts and can include Dams, Flood Defences, Early Warning Systems, Hospitals, Schools, Highways, Stadia and much more. The UKDT JV is an award-winning team with so much to offer. If you are looking for an international opportunity, a chance to work on incredibly meaningful projects with significant social value, the work we are doing in LATAM is vital.
