About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Our client is the utilities provider in the South-East geographic area, delivering services in an environmentally sustainable, economically beneficial, and socially responsible manner to create sustainable long-term value for all.

As Project Manager, you will deliver multiple capital delivery and change projects across water programmes, ensuring governance, risk, cost, and quality standards are met. You will work collaboratively with stakeholders to drive effective delivery, align outcomes with business strategy, and maximise benefits through strong engagement, clear communication, and coordinated resource management from initiation to completion.

This role requires proven experience working in a project environment but not necessarily in a project management role. Responsibilities include delivering projects to agreed scope, time, cost, and quality; managing initiation, scoping, and business cases; defining deliverables, plans, and milestones; driving delivery and resolving risks and issues; ensuring benefits realisation and effective handover; managing stakeholders and communications; coordinating resources and motivating teams; and supporting transition and embedding change.

Mace values safety first, client focus, integrity, and creating opportunity for people to excel. We champion a safe, diverse, and inclusive working environment and welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates. Flexible working options including part-time, hybrid, and flexible hours may be considered where suitable.

About you
