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.

Because 'good enough' builds the past. You're here to build what's next.

As Accenture continues to grow, you may see a variety of new career opportunities, and depending on the role and location you may be directed to apply through Accenture LLP or one of our other legal entities - Accenture Construct LLC or Accenture Construct Inc., with benefits varying by country and role, so please check with your recruiter for details.

THE WORK:

• You'll develop and implement the project planning and scheduling controls strategy, including roles for both BP and contractors.
• You'll adhere to financial, business, and project processes across all project stages.
• You'll provide schedules to support accurate estimating, benchmarking, and interface planning.
• You'll coordinate internal and external schedule benchmarks and ensure readiness for future phases.
• You'll prepare and manage the WBS/CBS in collaboration with the Cost Engineer.
• You'll implement and monitor detailed and summary schedules throughout the project lifecycle.
• You'll develop and integrate schedule risk analysis and mitigation plans into the risk and change processes.
• You'll establish a project-wide progress measurement and reporting system with clear roll-up structures.
• You'll generate and present schedule reports and project updates to relevant stakeholders.
• You'll support project closeout planning and perform other duties as assigned.
• Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours.
• With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
