Within our consult business, we harness our unique combination of leading-edge practical expertise and project delivery consultancy to unlock the potential in every project.

The project:

This is a critical role in growing our capability in providing subject matter expertise and innovative thinking to our clients. The candidate will be expected to support the senior management team in leading and managing security projects from inception to completion. Your role will support the successful delivery of projects across multiple sectors, including critical national infrastructure, central government, defence, and the private sector. The role will include responsibility to lead on projects in a client-facing capacity and lead small project teams. Our focus is on delivering positive security outcomes and providing honest, informed advice.

Integrity - Always do the right thing:

  • You will support the long-term development of your function or business unit (BU), creating a sustainable business future.
  • You will commit to making a positive impact for our people, our clients, and our planet, and take ownership for holding others to account who do not uphold the Mace values.

  • You will manage design and wider consultant teams in a collaborative manner to ensure effective completion of responsibilities.
  • You will lead and manage the project team and relevant stakeholders to achieve strategic project key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • You will actively network, innovate, and seek understanding of best practice, utilising the full depth of knowledge of Mace group, the centres of excellence, Mace way control centre, and knowledge hub.

  • Strong presentation skills, able to lead and facilitate workshops, training sessions, and lead discussions with a wider range of stakeholders.
  • Able to capture requirements, understand risk, and develop proportionate responses that are reasonable.
  • Provide expertise on security risk assessment, security strategies, audits, and master planning within the built environment.
  • Possess excellent communication skills to different types of audiences.
  • The successful candidate must obtain UK Government Security Clearance (SC minimum).
  • Proven history of successfully managing and delivering security consulting projects.
  • Strong knowledge of security risk assessment methodologies, security technologies, and industry best practices.
  • Professional Membership of a relevant professional security body (SyI, ASIS, APM, IRM etc.).
  • Relevant degree in security risk management, project management, engineering, or a related field.
  • Good understanding of resource, commercial, and bid management.

You’ll also have:

  • Ability to lead and act on own initiative but be a strong team player who actively shares knowledge and ideas in an open and honest manner.
  • Be interested in developing own knowledge on emerging threats, trends, and new technologies.
  • Comfortable in preparing outline technical reports on different types of security systems (i.e., VSS, IDS, ACS, HVM, Building Hardening, and other security elements).
  • Chartered Security Professional (i.e., RSES, CySP) or Chartered Engineer.
  • Experience in organisational, operational, or cyber security disciplines.
  • Experience in developing and delivering organisational security training.
