About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. In 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.

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.

As Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible for delivering excellence through robust systems and client-focused outcomes. You will uphold integrity while managing budgets, risks, and sustainable impact. You will lead teams collaboratively, driving innovation and performance against strategic KPIs, manage project management, technical services, and external resources, and collaborate with clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure successful delivery.

You will champion safety first by embedding Mace’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing framework and drive programme, design, procurement, and construction through to completion.

About you
