Job description

You've Never Been Satisfied with "Good Enough."

You didn't get into this to manage one piece of a project. You got into it to change how the world gets built.

At Accenture Construct, that's the job. You'll help deliver the data centers, power grids, rail networks, factories and public infrastructure that keep communities moving — smarter, safer and more sustainably.

You'll work alongside people who think big and act bold: project managers, engineers, technologists and strategists who pair real-world delivery with AI. And you won't be handed a slice of it. We take on whole programs, from early strategy through construction and handover, and we stand behind how they land.

• You’ll play a pivotal role in delivering complex, multi-jurisdictional bridge and roadway improvement projects.
• You’ll support the Resident Engineer with field oversight, inspection, quality assurance, and contract administration throughout all phases of construction.
• You’ll perform and oversee daily inspections and quality assurance activities for bridge and roadway construction.
• You’ll verify contractor work for conformance with approved plans, specifications, and special provisions.
• You’ll coordinate with contractors, utilities, public agencies, and Construction Management Consultants to resolve field issues and minimize delays.
• You’ll review contractor submittals, RFI responses, progress schedules, and other project documentation.
• You’ll oversee and document construction materials testing and sampling to ensure compliance with project requirements.
• You’ll support contract administration, including change order preparation and negotiation, pay estimates, correspondence, and claims documentation.
• You’ll track contractor progress and prepare daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports.
• You’ll perform or support calculations for grade, alignment, quantities, falsework, shoring, and structural components throughout construction, from foundation and falsework through bridge deck placement and roadway tie-ins.
• You’ll collaborate closely with Construction Management Consultants, including staking, materials testing, and environmental monitoring teams.

Onsite at client site

This is a leadership role to help manage the construction management team as well as oversee the contractor's compliance with the Contract. The work location for this role is onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery and cultivate our client relationships.

• California Licensed Professional Engineer (PE)preferred, Engineer In Training (EIT) required.
• Eight (8) yearsof roadway/highway construction inspection and field engineering experience on major public works projects
• One (1) Caltrans-administered or federally funded highway project
• Minimum three (3) yearsof experience in structural mechanics, stress analysis, or bridge construction inspection

• Demonstrated knowledge of concrete and steel bridge materials, falsework, and shoring systems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for coordination with contractors and public agencies
• Proficiency in Caltrans construction documentation standards, E-builder/PMCS systems, and Microsoft Office
• Experience as Assistant or Resident Engineer on bridge or river crossing projects
• Experience working for a heavy civil contractor performing roadway or bridge work.
• Ability to lead field inspection staff and make timely, technically sound field decisions
• Familiarity with environmental compliance and stormwater management on Caltrans projects
• Prior work with Riverside County, City of Riverside, or Caltrans District 8 is highly desirable
• Experience on tolling, smart corridor, or ITS-equipped roadway projects

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• The biggest builds going. Hyperscale data centers, grid and generation, transit and rail, chip fabs, mines, water. If it's complex and it matters, it's on our list.
• You own the outcome. Not a workstream. Not a deliverable. Whether the program lands.
• AI that shows up on site. Program control that predicts instead of records. You'll use it, and you'll help shape it.
• Scale without the distance. More than 5,000 practitioners across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, on a team small enough that people know your name.
• Serious investment in you. Leadership development, technical upskilling and certification support.
• Work that outlasts you. People will use what you build for forty years without knowing your name. That's the point.
• Recognition that means something in this industry. Accenture Construct is ranked #6 globally in ENR's 2026 Top 50 Program Management Firms and #4 in Building Design + Construction's Top 80 Construction Management Firms for 2026.
