The opportunity
Project: We are seeking talented individuals that want to join us as assistant project managers that can work with us in our Highways Division.

Contributing to the review of project performance and production of reporting to drive continuous improvement.

Maintaining records, traceable files and arrange archiving on closure of the project as appropriate.
Role modelling and championing social value initiatives.
Ensuring compliance against our quality management system to ensure we are meeting client outcomes and standards.
About you
We are actively seeking diverse people that have transferable skills and that perhaps wouldn’t have considered Highways in the past to support us in driving change and diverse thinking in the industry.
You are digitally savvy, can build lasting client relationships and lead strong, motivated teams. You will have a construction or project management background and be hungry to grow your career and enjoy the opportunities Mace has to offer.
