Accenture Infrastructure & Capital Projects

You've never been satisfied with "good enough." You want to make an impact, not just manage projects, but change how the world gets built. At Accenture Infrastructure & Capital Projects, you'll do exactly that. 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 than ever before.

You'll work alongside people who think big and act bold - project managers, engineers, technologists, and strategists who blend real-world experience with digital innovation and AI. Together, we're transforming how capital projects are planned, managed, and executed, creating a better way to build for the future.

Because "good enough" builds the past. You're here to build what's next, on a team that outperforms every norm.

The work:

• You'll develop, maintain, and update detailed project schedules across all phases of the lifecycle, from master to Level 4 schedules.
• You'll facilitate interactive planning sessions and integrate internal schedules with EPCM contractor schedules to create unified, realistic timelines.
• You'll review and challenge schedules provided by contractors, engineering, and commissioning teams to ensure accuracy and feasibility.
• You'll track project progress, analyze schedule performance against baselines, and identify critical paths, constraints, and acceleration opportunities.
• You'll prepare weekly and monthly progress reports, including schedule variance, impact analysis, and four- to six-week lookahead schedules.
• You'll support risk management by assessing schedule impacts, developing mitigation strategies, and maintaining activity trackers for team awareness.
• You'll communicate schedule status, key milestones, and risks to project teams, leadership, and stakeholders, ensuring alignment with financial forecasts and cash flow projections.
• You'll serve as the subject matter expert for scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project, MSP Online, and Primavera P6, while maintaining schedule databases and compliance with reporting requirements.
• You'll consolidate resource workload forecasts, provide inputs for staffing plans, and prepare documentation to support governance and reporting reviews.
• You'll participate in gate reviews and governance meetings, ensuring adherence to corporate project control standards, reporting protocols, and schedule management practices.
• Onsite at client site: The work location for this role is onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery and cultivate our client relationships.

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:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline
• 8+ years of experience in project scheduling within construction, pharmaceutical, energy, or large capital project environments

Bonus points if you have:

• Certifications with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and scheduling integration tools; strong understanding of critical path method (CPM) scheduling
