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 Infrastructure and Capital Projects LLP or one of our other legal entities - Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects, LLC or Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects Inc., with benefits varying by country and role, so please check with your recruiter for details.

THE WORK:

• You’ll serve as the single point of contact and delivery owner for assigned electric infrastructure project(s), from scope development through construction closeout — coordinating engineering, construction, permitting, contractors, and utility stakeholders.
• You’ll lead the planning, execution, and delivery of substation and transmission/distribution line projects, including regular site visits to monitor progress and resolve field issues directly with contractors.
• You’ll report on scope completion and deviations, project schedules, and budgets — including monthly forecasting, variance analysis, financial controls, and risk mitigation plans.
• You’ll develop and maintain integrated project schedules with multiple dependencies using MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent tools, with support from a Project Controls analyst.
• You’ll support contractor selection, contract preparation, procurement, and materials management, and provide day-to-day oversight of contractor performance.
• You’ll monitor and coordinate project schedules throughout design and construction; oversee technical accuracy, efficiency, coordination, and constructability.
• You’ll ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and utility requirements; review construction documents and deliverables for compliance with approved scope and budget.
• You’ll communicate regularly with Accenture leadership, PG&E management, critical project partners, and public-sector stakeholders — including preparing project updates and formal presentations for senior leadership.
• You’ll develop interface management strategies across multiple, concurrent projects and provide the framework for reporting and control systems.
• You’ll identify and implement innovative processes that reduce cost and/or schedule without compromising safety or quality.
• You mentor and provide guidance to less-tenured project managers on the account team.

Flexible: this role follows a hybrid model — a mix of remote work, on-site time at Client's facilities in the Bay Area / Central Coast region (including regular field site visits), and collaboration at an Accenture office or center. As with all our roles, some in-person time is expected for collaboration, learning, and relationship-building with clients, peers, and leaders.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'll NEED:

• 10+ years of direct project management experience on electric transmission, substation, distribution and/or comparable heavy civil/utility infrastructure projects
• Demonstrated experience managing projects through a formal utility gate/stage process from a client-facing or consulting capacity. PG&E experience is strongly preferred.
• Professional experience with MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent scheduling tools; familiarity with SAP Financials / Work Management modules a plus.
• Strong knowledge of cost management, budget forecasting, and risk management/mitigation practices, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field; equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license a plus, particularly for substation or transmission line scopes.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate or ability to obtain it within 6 months is a plus
