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.

THE WORK:

• You'll open doors from day one, bringing existing relationships with data centre owners, operators, developers and the partner ecosystem around them, and converting those relationships into a qualified pipeline across [region/market] within your first two quarters.
• You'll originate and close work yourself — identifying where clients need help on their capital programmes, leading the pursuit end to end, and signing multi-year advisory and programme management engagements rather than waiting for opportunities to be passed to you.
• You'll shape the solution and the commercial model, designing the approach, team structure and pricing that answers the client's problem and stands up commercially for both sides.
• You'll build the team behind the win, attracting senior practitioners into [region/market] and standing up the delivery capability — locally and with global support — that scales as the pipeline converts.
• You'll own delivery of what you sell, staying personally accountable for client outcomes, quality and commercial performance until the market reaches the scale to sustain dedicated delivery leadership.
• You'll grow a market, not just an account: within 12 months you'll have a named client portfolio, a repeatable proposition and a team in place, establishing [region/market] as a scaled part of our global data centre business.
• Flexible:The work location for this role will include a mix of working remotely, onsite at a client or in an Accenture office or center.

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.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Minimum 10 years of experience on large-scale capital projects in the data centre or mission-critical sector, across advisory, cost and commercial management, project or programme management.
• Minimum 5 years of experience originating and selling professional services or consulting work, with a demonstrable record of personally won revenue.
• Minimum 5 years of experience accountable for delivery of capital programme engagements, including client outcomes and commercial performance.
• Minimum 5 years of experience working directly with data centre owners, operators or developers in [region/market].
• Minimum 3 years of experience building and leading teams, including hiring senior practitioners.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

• Experience working with or inside one or more hyperscale, colocation or major developer organisations.
• Professional accreditation such as RICS, PMP, AACE/CCP, or chartered engineer status.
• Experience on both owner side and consultant or contractor side of capital programmes.
• Experience selling and delivering across multiple countries within [region/market].
• Experience in adjacent capital-intensive sectors such as semiconductor fabrication, power and grid, or advanced manufacturing.
• Experience building a practice or business from early stage through to scale

$240,000 - $290,000 a year

Compensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set, and level of experience. As required by local law, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired in Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia or Washington as set forth below.

We accept applications until August 28, 2026

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.

ABOUT ACCENTURE CONSTRUCT

• We plan them, engineer them, deliver them and hand them over — and unlike most of this market, we're on the hook for whether they land on time. More than 5,000 practitioners across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. One team that owns the whole thing.
