About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. As a Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing a c. £50m per annum programme of repair and maintenance work delivered by a contractor, overseeing the full delivery lifecycle from scope definition, enabling and mobilisation, through to delivery and handover. You will ensure the safe and efficient delivery of work across the region to meet regulatory milestones, requiring an innovative and proactive approach with the ability to resolve problems quickly and effectively. You will also be responsible for the commercially effective delivery of works.

You will lead supply chain and contractor teams to drive consistent performance, standards, and behaviours across all delivery partners. Ensuring operational integration between the client’s operations team, construction contractor, and supply chain is a key part of your role. You will be accountable for programme delivery outcomes including safety, cost, schedule, and quality, ensuring alignment with AMP objectives, regulatory requirements, and client expectations. You will oversee performance, provide robust reporting, and intervene when necessary.

Commercial and financial control is critical, and you will manage financial performance across contractor delivery to ensure value for money, cost control, and transparency throughout the supply chain. You will liaise with the commercial team to maintain robust and contemporary contract and commercial administration.

Governance and assurance responsibilities include ensuring contractors operate to required standards, procedures, and compliance obligations, providing oversight of risk, contingency, and delivery assurance. You will support wider leadership by integrating this work into the broader maintenance portfolio, including governance, controls, and operational interface management.

Leadership and capability development are essential, as you will provide leadership of the work programme and team, ensuring capability, capacity, and structure are in place to deliver. You will drive a high-performance, safety-led culture. Managing risk and issues across the programme, ensuring appropriate mitigations and controls are in place, will also be part of your remit.
