Assistant Digital Consultant (P3)

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:

At Mace, our purpose is to redefine the boundaries of ambition. Within our Consult business, we combine practical expertise, project delivery consultancy and digital capability to unlock value for our clients and communities.

We are seeking an adaptable Assistant Digital Consultant to support the development and delivery of data, analytics and digital solutions across client projects, programmes and advisory commissions. The role will initially support the AMI programme, while remaining deployable across other clients, sectors and business areas.

The successful candidate will help turn complex information and business requirements into practical, secure and repeatable solutions. The role is intentionally broad and is not restricted to AMI, metering, GIS or the construction sector. Experience in construction, infrastructure, property or project and programme management would be beneficial because of Mace’s core operating environment, but candidates with transferable capability from other sectors are equally encouraged to apply.

You’ll be responsible for:
•    Support the implementation of digital strategies and solutions for client-facing projects and programmes.
•    Take individual ownership of defined data, analytics, reporting, automation and digital delivery packages under the direction of the Digital Lead.
•    Clean, structure, validate, reconcile and analyse large, complex or multi-source datasets.

•    Undertaking analytical, financial, operational, scenario-based or predictive modelling were required.
•    Explore practical and responsible applications of AI for analytics, reporting, knowledge management and project delivery.
•    Gather and document user, business, data and reporting requirements and translate them into practical digital solutions.
•    Prepare clear reports, presentations, visualisations, procedures, user guidance and training material.
•    Support project teams with digital systems, data quality, governance, security, documentation and auditability.
•    Contribute to proposals, demonstrations, case studies, reusable methods and the wider Digital Centre of Excellence.
