Accenture

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

• Prepare accurate cost estimates for materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, and other direct costs.
• Solicit, analyze, and level vendor and subcontractor quotes to ensure completeness and competitiveness.
• Develop detailed basis of estimate (BOE) documentation, outlining assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications.
• Collaborate with the operations and pre-construction team to develop value-engineering ideas and constructability reviews.
• Participate in pre-bid and post-bid meetings (virtually) with clients, engineers, and general contractors.
• Utilize estimating software (e.g., Accubid, ConEst, McCormick) to build and format professional proposals.
• Maintain current knowledge of electrical codes, industry standards, material pricing, and labor rates.
• Manage multiple estimates simultaneously while adhering to strict deadline
• Review and comment on foreign cost estimates to ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness and consistency with the E&C Branch estimating guidelines and procedures.
• Maintain files and records of work

Working Conditions

• Remote, with some occasional travel to the U.S.
• 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.
• Minimum of 14 years of experience in in a large engineering and general contracting and cost consultant firm specializing in large multi-faceted projects.
• Minimum of 5+ years of experience as an Electrical Estimator in the construction industry.
• Direct experience with Data Center projects is required.
• Proven experience estimating large-scale commercial or industrial electrical projects.
• Proficiency with electrical estimating software (e.g., Accubid, ConEst) and digital take-off tools (e.g., Bluebeam Revu).

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

• In-depth knowledge of electrical systems, including but not limited to: primary and secondary power distribution, emergency/back-up power systems (generators, UPS, ATS), branch power, lighting, fire alarm, and grounding
• Exceptional analytical, mathematical, and organizational skills with a keen attention to detail
