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.

THE WORK:

- You’ll develop and maintain the Project Execution Plan, RACI matrix, project organization, and governance structure, and lead integrated planning with utility owners, EPC contractors, OEMs, engineering firms, construction managers, and business partners including Supply Chain, Operations, and Finance.
- You’ll ensure project controls are implemented for scope, schedule, cost, cash flow, risk, contracts, quality, and communications, working directly with the Project Controls Manager and cost, scheduling, and engineering team members to manage change, contingency, forecasting, and reporting.
- You’ll lead project risk management, including RAID reviews and quantitative risk analysis, and oversee design assurance, constructability, nonconformance review, operational readiness, commissioning support, and structured turnover of completed systems with required documentation, training, and instructions.
- You’ll lead procurement and delivery coordination for CCGT long-lead equipment, including gas turbines, HRSGs, steam turbines, generators, and transformers, and monitor contractor and vendor performance in safety, schedule, cost, quality, and contractual compliance.
- You’ll prepare gate-readiness and funding-authorization packages, including Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) assessments, and provide timely status reports and executive presentations to client and Accenture leadership, with authority on each assignment defined by the applicable client contract.
- You’ll initially lead development and revision of a regulated electric utility client’s Generation Project Delivery System, establishing governance, lifecycle and stage-gate requirements, roles and decision authorities, PDRI and readiness scoring, procedures, templates, implementation manuals, and reusable tools; you’ll benchmark the system against AACE International recommended practices, CII PDRI, and PMI practices and incorporate client-approved lessons learned from active CCGT delivery.
- You’ll lead workshops, reviews, comment resolution, version control, and approval of proposed Project Delivery System standards and, in a later phase subject to written authorization, lead rollout sequencing, change management, training, coaching, adoption tracking, and structured handover while mentoring project managers and developing reusable capital-project practices.
