Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Mace Full time

The Opportunity

Mace has a significant track record in the Education sector, working with schools, colleges, local authorities, and central government to deliver 'landmarks for learning' nationally with a strength of vision and concept that are sustainable, inherently flexible and able to change to meet future needs. Mace is a leading consultant for the Department for Education (DfE) delivering across all their principal capital programmes, including the Schools Re-building Programme, Free Schools, Special Educational Needs, Further Education (Colleges) and Institutes of Technology.

We are seeking Project Managers looking to further their careers working in a high performing team on a wide portfolio of work covering new build, refurbishment, remodelling and carbon reduction schemes. Mace's ability to provide the key multidisciplinary services of design, cost, information management, sustainability and health and safety in house means that clients benefit from an integrated end to end service with a single point of accountability.

This is a client-side secondment role, working closely with DfE colleagues, with responsibility for planning, coordination and control of DfE capital projects from inception to completion, aimed at meeting DfE's requirements to produce a functionally viable and sustainable project that will be completed safely, on time, within authorised cost and to the defined quality standards.

Mace people share a common drive to succeed, enthusiasm for their work and a passion for providing exceptional service to our clients and communities. This is embodied within our purpose "To redefine the boundaries of ambition," underpinned by our three distinct priorities; pursue a sustainable world, grow together, and deliver distinctive value.
