Accenture Construct - Senior Scheduler, ANS

Job Description

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.

• You'll lead schedule reporting and execution support by running regular performance reviews, validating progress, analyzing deviations, and communicating status through defined reporting systems and formats.

• You'll track activity progress, out‑of‑sequence work, and procurement of owner, developer, and contractor‑furnished equipment, assessing impacts to procurement plans and site need‑by dates.

• You'll prepare independent schedule analyses and forecasts, including completion dates, cost and cashflow implications, risks, and earned value metrics to support informed decision‑making.

• You'll identify schedule issues, perform time‑impact and recovery analyses, propose mitigation plans, and review schedule changes in coordination with project and regional leadership.

• You'll produce and maintain accurate project and program deliverables such as narratives, health reports, milestone and procurement reports, executive summaries, and ensure data integrity and stakeholder alignment across all scheduling systems.

• 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.

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.
