About the Role
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. In the energy sector, the UK will need to invest up to £900 billion of capital expenditure to enable a net zero economy by 2050. For our clients in this sector, this means delivering complex projects and programmes focused on low-carbon technologies and infrastructure, safely, efficiently, and at pace.

Decarbonisation of energy is currently constrained by the capacity of, and connection to, the electricity network. This role will be at the forefront of this challenge, contributing to the delivery of construction projects that increase capacity on the network and connect new generation and storage into the grid.

Working closely with client and contractor teams, you will support project controls activities on major projects and programmes. This may include supporting the set-up of project controls functions and driving the delivery of day-to-day PMO functions and services.

The Project Controller’s prime responsibility is to deliver a project controls service, incorporating reporting and management information, earned value management, cost and schedule variance, estimates at completion, and critical path analysis during the delivery of major projects. You will manage safe, high-quality, and compliant delivery while promoting inclusion and wellbeing.

You will deliver PMO and project controls frameworks, supporting best-in-class service and stakeholder engagement. Supporting teams across cost, schedule, risk, and reporting, you will contribute to long-term strategic improvement. Additionally, you will drive knowledge-sharing and support resourcing and recruitment for the commission.
