About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Within our Cities and Places sector, we shape everything from homes and schools to major Ministry of Justice programmes, offices, and retail-led commercial developments. Working with government and private-sector clients, we create spaces that genuinely improve how people live, work, and connect—building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.

These ambitions come with challenges such as tight budgets, funding pressures, complex stakeholder needs, sustainability demands, and the constant need to adapt at pace. At Mace, navigating these challenges is what we do best. We bring flexibility, adaptability, and deep technical expertise to programme and project delivery—partnering closely with clients to understand their needs and deliver outcomes that matter.

Using cutting-edge technology, modern construction techniques, and a relentless focus on social value, we help deliver projects that meet today’s requirements while supporting long-term goals. Projects that stand the test of time and create thriving, future-proofed communities.

In this role, you will be responsible for delivering excellence through robust systems and client-focused outcomes; upholding integrity while managing budgets, risks, and sustainable impact; managing teams collaboratively and driving innovation and performance against strategic KPIs; overseeing project management, technical services, and external resources; collaborating with clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure successful delivery; championing safety first by embedding Mace’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing framework; and driving programme, design, procurement, and construction through to completion.

Requirements

Experience
Substantial experience in the successful delivery phase of projects and programmes within property or infrastructure sectors. Proven track record of leading parts of projects within large, diverse teams. Experience developing and maintaining relationships with senior stakeholders. Strong commercial and financial acumen. Knowledge of how carbon and sustainability considerations influence project outlooks.

About you
Membership of RICS, CIOB, APM, ICE or equivalent demonstrable professional or personal development. Ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. Commitment to safety, integrity, and client-focused delivery. Adaptable and innovative mindset with a passion for creating social value and future-proofed communities.
