Offer description

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 project

From homes and schools to smart motorways and vibrant community spaces, our work with government partners gives us the opportunity to make a real, lasting difference. Our local government clients have shown us what true collaboration looks like – that property is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a platform for stronger, healthier and more resilient communities.

These ambitions don’t come without challenges: 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. Through 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.


You’ll be responsible for:

* Managing projects with safety first, ensuring compliance, quality, programme, cost, and sustainability excellence.
* Delivering client‑focused outcomes through effective cost planning, procurement, and strategic KPI achievement.
* Upholding integrity, managing ethically viable operations and driving net zero carbon transition.
* Creating opportunity by leading teams, championing innovation, and embedding continuous improvement across all activities.
* Managing feasibility studies, procurement strategies, and contract selection, ensuring robust reporting and compliance.
* Managing cost planning, budgets, valuations, and reporting, driving effective financial control throughout project delivery.
* Overseeing contracts, claims, and completion processes, ensuring quality outcomes and stakeholder confidence.
* Guiding and mentoring cost consultants, driving continuous improvement, stakeholder engagement, and net zero carbon transition.


You’ll need to have:

* Degree in quantity surveying or cost management.
* Professional membership (MRICS/RICS or equivalent), progressing toward fellowship.
* Proven consulting experience, strong commercial and financial acumen.
* Expertise in value engineering, sustainability, and stakeholder management.
