Accenture Construct – Program Manager, ANS

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.

• You'll serve as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert, building strong client relationships and providing strategic guidance to solve complex project and business challenges.
• You'll support business development efforts through industry expertise, thought leadership, proposal development, and participation in industry events.
• You'll act as an Owner's Representative, overseeing capital projects from planning and initiation through execution, closeout, and handover.
• You'll lead project planning and delivery activities, ensuring alignment with client objectives, budgets, schedules, and performance expectations.
• You'll coordinate the overall project controls program across risk, schedule, cost, change management, governance, and reporting functions.
• You'll drive program plans, priorities, deliverables, and action closure to support successful project outcomes.
• You'll coordinate inputs across project controls functions, project teams, and key stakeholders to ensure alignment and consistency.
• You'll monitor schedule, cost, risk, and change performance, proactively identifying trends and recommending corrective actions.
• You'll identify delivery gaps, dependencies, and emerging issues while driving mitigation and resolution strategies.
• You'll prepare governance materials, executive-level reporting, and performance updates for client and leadership review.
• You'll escalate blockers, facilitate decision-making, and drive accountable resolution of project challenges.
• You'll develop and implement program tools, processes, and initiatives that drive operational excellence, team growth, and client success.
• You'll build and maintain impactful relationships with stakeholders at all levels, including presenting recommendations and updates to executive leadership.
• You'll monitor program performance, assess client needs, analyze key metrics, and recommend scalable solutions that improve efficiency and outcomes.
• You'll advise clients on resource planning and allocation strategies, including staffing and Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE) management.
• You'll collaborate with architects, engineers, contractors, and client teams to drive successful project execution and achievement of program goals.
• You'll identify and mitigate project risks while fostering effective communication and coordination across project teams, vendors, subcontractors, and stakeholders.

• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and facilitation skills.
• Experience preparing executive-level presentations, governance materials, and program performance reporting.
• Ability to identify project risks, dependencies, and delivery issues and drive resolution independently.

• Experience establishing or improving project controls frameworks, governance processes, and performance reporting mechanisms.
• Experience supporting large-scale data center, mission-critical, or complex infrastructure programs.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently while influencing diverse stakeholder groups across multiple project functions.

• 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.

• Accenture Construct is Accenture's global capital projects business.
• The data centers behind AI. The grid behind the energy transition. The rail, water and airports everything else runs on.
• We plan them, engineer them, deliver them and hand them over — and unlike most of this market, we're on the hook for whether they land on time. More than 5,000 practitioners across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. One team that owns the whole thing.
