The contractor is creating a new director of technology role, with Paul Connolly stepping up from head of construction technical services to lead its growing data centre division.<\/p>\n
He will report to Rob Lemming, who leads the Public, Science and Technology business unit, and take charge of one of the firm\u2019s fastest-expanding sectors, as demand surges for high-performance digital infrastructure schemes.<\/p>\n
The move comes after the managing director of technology Alister Grey decided to pursue opportunities outside the business. <\/span><\/p>\n He<\/span> will leave Mace this summer after nearly a decade, having helped establish the firm\u2019s position in the hyperscale data centre market across Europe.<\/p>\n The leadership switch signals a shift towards a more technology-driven, engineering-led delivery model as Mace targets further growth in the sector.<\/p>\n At the same time, the contractor is sharpening its interiors offer, pulling it firmly into its specialist services arm under managing director Gavin Seager.<\/p>\n The business will now focus purely on London Category A and B fit-out work, aiming to deliver a faster, more agile response to commercial clients.<\/p>\n The operational changes follow Mace Construct\u2019s move to a simplified structure paring its operating model from five to three business units built around commercial; public sector, science and technology; and infrastructure, supported by a cross-cutting building services function.<\/p>\n Chief executive Jason Millett said the changes marked the next phase of the contractor\u2019s reset as a standalone business, with a sharper market focus and stronger internal leadership pipeline.<\/p>\n\n
