At Accenture Infrastructure & Capital Projects, you’ll help develop and deliver the factories, grids, transit systems, and public infrastructure that keep communities moving – and do it smarter, safer, and more sustainably.

You’ll work alongside senior project managers, engineers, technologists, and strategists to transform how capital projects are planned, managed, and executed.

Responsibilities

• Lead the planning, coordination, and direction for construction projects, ensuring compliance with all EEO policies throughout the project life cycle and providing equitable leadership opportunities for all team members.
• Provide ongoing support to staff during all phases of a project – pre‑design, procurement, construction, and post‑construction – overseeing cost, schedule, quality, and document control in line with organizational policies and industry standards.
• Oversight of all project activities on construction or environmental sites, ensuring full compliance with company policies, safety protocols, and regulatory requirements, including PPE usage.
• Maintain clear and regular communication with clients, contractors, and stakeholders through emails, meetings, and reports.
• Manage planning, budgeting, and scheduling of project activities to meet established deadlines while staying within approved budgets.
• Administer contracts for design and construction firms, ensuring adherence to contractual obligations and acting as owner’s representative to address changes or issues promptly.
• Oversee quality control processes during construction and abatement phases, ensuring projects meet contract specifications, relevant regulations, and best practices.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, providing regular status updates, managing expectations, and exploring opportunities for repeat business.
• Stay informed about advancements in construction technologies, integrating new methodologies and best practices into project management.
• Supervise and mentor project managers, construction managers, and other staff, promoting diversity in recruitment and retention practices.
• Assign and delegate tasks to project staff, ensuring effective contribution, monitoring workload distribution, and supporting high performance across all stages of project execution.
• Work onsite at a client location; the role requires some in-person time for collaboration and relationship building.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Construction Management, Architecture, or equivalent experience is required.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience providing project/program management services.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience managing the full construction project life cycle, including pre‑construction design phases and oversight of constructability reviews.
