Responsibilities also include maintaining robust quality management systems, overseeing documentation control and handover processes, driving best practice, networking internally, and leveraging Mace Group expertise. The position requires major project experience, significant main contractor experience on projects valued at £250+ and consultancy experience on projects valued at £1bn+, with professional membership such as MCIOB (or equivalent) and a degree in civil engineering or construction management.
