About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, cost specialists, and industrialisation experts, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining detailed cost breakdowns, creating cost models, and processing cost data into presentable formats for senior decision makers. The role includes preparing reports to capture supply chain feedback and integrating supplier intelligence accurately within cost models, cost plans, and product selection assessments. This position requires collaborative working across a national programme and a strong understanding of healthcare project delivery, including the cost and performance implications of relevant health technical memoranda and health building notes.

You will be responsible for conducting comprehensive cost analysis across products, developing related product documents, and contributing to digital initiatives. Identifying and quantifying opportunities for cost efficiencies and savings through procurement route analysis and detailed cost modelling will be key. You will develop cost bases for industrialisation options, including enhancements to existing tools or new tooling solutions, and collaborate with product leads to understand cost and performance drivers and record areas for optimisation.

Supporting the evaluation of commercial and procurement strategies, including common components and MEP procurement, to ensure value for money is essential. You will advise on funding models and high-level principles of implementation for procurement and architecture integration from a cost perspective. Providing cost and commercial insights and recommendations to support strategic decision-making regarding industrialisation initiatives is a core part of the role. Additionally, you will provide cost advice to acquisitions teams to enable prioritisation of key products through optimised procurement strategies and interface with pre-contract cost and commercial management and estimating teams to enable cross-collaboration with the Industrialisation team.

Analysing supply chain costs, including logistics, manufacturing, and supplier relationships, to identify areas for efficiency gains will also be required.
