About the Role
As the Senior Electrical Project Manager - MEP within Mace Construct Limited's Commercial Business Unit, you will lead the electrical discipline on a multi-million pound project in Central London currently in its early stages. You will be accountable for delivering MEP services to meet agreed time, budget, safety, and quality targets. Your role involves driving high-quality, efficient, and profitable delivery while providing leadership and ensuring compliance, governance, and assurance across technical and construction teams.

You will manage and motivate the MEP project team by demonstrating professional and respectful behaviours, providing clear direction and encouraging adherence to Mace standards. You will ensure successful delivery of programme management, health, safety and wellbeing, quality, and commissioning.

Key responsibilities include partnering with key stakeholders such as clients, consultants, trade contractors, and other team leaders; driving tendering processes; providing expert technical and commercial support to bid teams; and contributing to procurement strategies to secure specialist packages within scope and budget.

You will direct contract and scope reviews, assist with budget preparation, value engineering, scheduling, and trade contracts, and support commercial teams throughout the project lifecycle. You will also contribute to strategic project plans aligned with Mace’s operating framework and priorities, including prefabrication, commissioning, and safety.

Your role includes directing design reviews for compliance and coordination, considering embodied carbon and operational energy in line with RIBA and BSRIA frameworks. You will develop and implement commissioning strategies, execute productivity assessments using digital technologies, and proactively identify risks with mitigation plans.

Driving project close-out activities such as commissioning, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and client training will be essential. You will manage and influence senior stakeholders, lead large teams, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and performance management.

Working collaboratively towards net zero carbon transition, you will share responsibility for identifying and managing carbon emissions and reductions during project delivery.

At Mace, we are committed to redefining ambition and creating responsible, transformative places. Our values—Safety first, Client focus, Integrity, and Creating opportunity—guide our work and culture. We welcome diverse candidates and encourage applications even if you do not meet every criterion, as you may be the best fit for this or other roles within our organisation.
