The opportunity

Project: Mace is a privately owned construction company with an award-winning Responsible Business team of around 60 people. We are proud to say that at the end of 2020, we achieved a net-zero carbon position for the year. In our new strategy, we raise our ambitions once again - aiming to engage and influence with our clients and become a world-leader in carbon reduction in the built environment.

Are you somebody who could lend your drive and expertise to Mace to further strengthen our offer, supporting our clients with low carbon ambitions as we navigate this journey with them? Are you ready to push the boundaries to reduce the amount of embodied carbon in our construction delivery and influence the level of operational carbon across our client portfolios?

We are ideally looking for an associate director level structural engineer who has strived to incorporate sustainable engineering options in their recent career history.

Do you have a passion for creating opportunities via innovation and the enthusiasm to become our low carbon engineering ambassador? You will challenge the design teams to find a better way, collaborate with our supply chain to embrace new ways of working and most importantly lead our clients to best in class outcomes.

As an associate director, you will have strategic input across the organisation but day-to-day you will sit within our construction delivery business working on design solutions for existing projects and driving innovation through the bid process to win work with key clients across a variety of sectors. Your role will also include R&D, mentoring and training alongside your colleagues in the Responsible Business team.

Your responsibilities will include:

Directing client relationships and strategic conversations.
Supporting chief engineer and head of sustainability in the development of business objectives.
Exploring innovation wherever it might lead to achieving our carbon goal and that of our clients, innovation and alternative forms of construction.
Providing value engineering of permanent works and construction engineering to reduce carbon.
