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. As a Senior Contract Manager, you will be responsible for delivering contract management, administration, and assurance services for various NEC and Non-NEC contracts. This includes contract and commercial management of NEC4 contracts called off from framework agreements as well as non-framework contracts. You will manage contracts delivering the Fens or Lincs reservoir projects, currently working towards Development Consent Order (DCO) submission.

Your responsibilities will include day-to-day contract and commercial leadership and support to delivery teams by discharging the PSC service manager actions under your delegated authority on NEC contracts and similar tasks for other contract types. You will support delivery teams, workstream leads, function leads, and framework users in providing robust commercial and contract management practices. This role is critical in embedding contract and commercial best practices and challenging ways of working to drive continuous improvement across the reservoirs programme.

You will support a collaborative and proactive approach to contract management and assurance to enable efficient project delivery. Additionally, you will help embed a collaborative mindset within our Project Delivery Partner (PDP) and their supply chain ecosystem to deliver against programme needs. Supporting delivery teams and business units to ensure our alliances maximise efficiencies, deliver outperformance, and promote a collaborative approach will also be key.

Our values underpin everything we do:
- Safety first - Going home safe and well: We champion a safe, diverse and inclusive working environment, understanding the importance of wellbeing in every team.
- Client focus - Deliver on our promise: We own the quality of deliverables, strategic outcomes and build long term relationships with our clients.
- Integrity - Always do the right thing: We influence positive outcomes within our industry, while always aligning with our compliance obligations.
- Create opportunity - For our people to excel: We champion a continuous improvement culture throughout all activities, inspiring our people and teams to develop.

Mace is an inclusive employer and welcomes interest from a diverse range of candidates. Even if you feel you do not fulfil all the criteria, please apply as you may still be the best candidate for this role or another role within our organisation. We are also open to discussing part time, flexible, and hybrid working options if suitable within the role.

Experience
Proven experience in contract and commercial management, particularly with NEC4 contracts and other contract types. Experience managing large-scale infrastructure projects or reservoir programmes is highly desirable.

About you
You are a proactive and collaborative leader with strong commercial acumen and the ability to support and influence delivery teams and stakeholders. You demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and best practice in contract management. You embrace Mace’s values of safety, client focus, integrity, and creating opportunity. You are adaptable and open to flexible working arrangements where applicable.

Qualifications
Relevant professional qualifications in contract management, commercial management, or related disciplines are advantageous but not mandatory. A strong track record of delivering results in complex contract environments is essential.
