Associate Director - Digital Consultancy

Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Our values shape the way we consult and define the people we want to join us on our journey.

The project: This is an opportunity to work with a strategic client on a joint venture with Mace, shaping the digital solution on a strategic project over many years.

These multi-year commissions are a fantastic platform to help our people, and our clients people grow together and accelerate careers along with the infrastructure at the heart of this scheme.

The opportunity: The role of a digital lead is to project manage a team delivering all aspects of digital services delivery on a client project or programme - through mobilisation, discovery assessment and implementation of digital solutions through testing and training, and into live operation.

It requires a mixture of experience of IT and digital solutions and services typically deployed on construction projects and programmes, or within a PMO, with effective project delivery, and problem solving.

The end customer is the client and the body of people working on the project that need functional and efficient digital technologies and solutions to help then plan, manage, control, and deliver the project.
