Position status: This Talent Pool has been set up to register your interest in both current and future roles within Latin America as we progress with both secured work and bid for new opportunities.
The Opportunity
The Latin America region is home to some of the world's fastest growing economies, with large-scale investment in infrastructure set for the coming years. We are looking to expand our footprint within Latin America from our base in Lima, Peru with potential opportunities throughout both Central and South America including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina.
We are looking for ambitious and dynamic Risk Managers with a background in large NEC Civil Engineering Projects who are looking for an opportunity to deliver large infrastructure schemes with both a huge social and economic benefit for Latin America.
Since day one, we have relentlessly pursued a better way. Our purpose - to redefine the boundaries of ambition - is the reason we do it. It's why we exist. It's what drives us forward. It's how we create an enduring legacy in this world.
Mace is an inclusive employer and welcomes interest from a diverse range of candidates.
About You
You want to make a difference; you care about socially valuable infrastructure projects; you are open to international opportunities, and you want an adventure alongside the job.
You have a Civil Engineering Degree, a Construction-related qualification, or a Project Management qualification.
You can demonstrate experience in the delivery of large civil projects and programmes, you have the ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and, ideally, you will have experience with the NEC contracts.
You have an advanced level of English or better and Spanish language skills are considered preferable but are not a prerequisite for the job.
You are digitally savvy, can build lasting client relationships and enjoy being a part of a strong, motivated team. You will have the ability to make sound decisions and demonstrate reasoning and be hungry to grow your career and enjoy the opportunities Mace has to offer.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
• Adhering to risk and project control standards across the project.
• Overseeing and ensuring risks and mitigation plans are updated to an agreed timeframe.
• Supporting cost control, risk and change management teams where appropriate.
• Supporting the production of monthly reports through the provision of intelligent information and analysis.
• Producing analysis of trends, generating performance indicators and providing feedback on areas of risk and opportunities.
• Scheduling risk analysis including those schedules provided by contractors and suppliers.
• Supporting the estimating process.
• Establishing and foster working relationships with all appropriate stakeholders pursuant to the discharging of your responsibilities or in aid of theirs.
• Liaising with other sections and practising team values.
• Providing ad hoc support to the wider project controls function to develop the capability of the team using knowledge from wider experience.
• Adhering to the current monthly project controls cycle and processes and support with any future development.
Our Experience in Latin America
The Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games showed that true success, and a lasting impact, comes from collaboration between clients, advisors, and contractors.
During this programme, our team introduced the NEC3 form of contract to the region, along with new methods of procurement and a 'one team' delivery approach, inspiring new ways of working and building stronger foundations for future success.
Through our role on the UK Delivery Team working with the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes, we help to provide critical infrastructure across Peru following the damage caused by El Niño in 2017.
The position allows us to oversee all the elements needed to successfully deliver a programme and to add maximum value by leveraging the existing strengths of the regional supply chains in combination with our international expertise.
