Associate Director - Health and Social Care job in Manchester at Mace Group

The opportunity

Health and education are fundamental to human development and, as sectors, are core to Mace. How a person grows, develops, and learns, are life-changing experiences and are key to their future success. The buildings that help to provide these experiences are so much more than their physical presence, their importance lies in the way that they improve the patient experience or how a child is educated. These are sectors that truly go beyond the individual and have an enduring impact on communities and the wider society.

At Mace, we have extensive experience delivering projects for a wide range of health and education clients, and we appreciate the sensitive and competing demands that projects face - both in the public and private sectors - wherever they are in the world.

• Undertaking and delivering significant size projects, as the lead project manager with support from senior project managers.

• Performing non-project related roles will be business reporting, bidding, resourcing and others as directed by the sector lead.
