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 act as the client’s owner’s representative, embedded alongside and managing the SaaS vendor (Octave) through the design and build stage – detailed discovery, configuration design, integration configuration and build, test, and data migration for the pilot projects.
You'll manage the vendor relationship end to end – governing scope, schedule, quality, commercial terms, and product roadmap dependencies, and holding the vendor to the statement of work as a demanding but constructive client.
You'll review, challenge, and sign off on the vendor’s configuration design and solution architecture to ensure fit with the client’s established capital projects controls practices, standards, and program objectives.
You'll oversee integration design and build across scheduling (e.g., Primavera P6), finance/ERP (e.g., SAP), and reporting/analytics data feeds (e.g., a data warehouse via API), ensuring cost and schedule data integrate cleanly and consistently across systems.
You'll hold the vendor to scope, schedule, quality, and acceptance criteria against the statement of work; track, document, and drive issues, risks, and change requests through to resolution, escalating where required.
You'll govern the data migration approach and validate migrated data for the pilot projects prior to stage-gate acceptance.
You'll assure the vendor’s test strategy, execution, and results; confirm defined acceptance criteria are met before progressing each stage gate.
You'll coordinate stakeholder engagement across scheduling, finance, IT and enterprise architecture, and controls leadership, keeping delivery aligned to program priorities.
You'll develop the implementation and rollout approach for scaling the solution beyond the pilot, including a wave-based rollout structure, sequencing, resourcing, and governance model.
You'll provide hands-on technical project management across parallel workstreams – planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control – in a complex, multi-project operating environment.
You'll lead the client-side implementation team through rollout, managing the transition from vendor-led delivery to owner-led implementation and embedding in-house delivery capability.
You'll establish and enforce data and controls standards to ensure consistency across projects and systems as the platform scales.
You'll formulate program controls processes to monitor scope, cost, schedule, contract, risk, quality, and performance across the rolled-out portfolio.
You'll lead organizational change management (OCM) across a complex operating environment – stakeholder and impact analysis, process redesign, training, communications, and adoption tracking – to embed new ways of working and realize the intended benefits.
You'll prepare and present progress, risk, and stage-gate reports to program and executive leadership, supporting recommendations and decisions on delivery.
You'll identify delivery risks and implement mitigation and contingency strategies across both the vendor-led and owner-led phases.
Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours.
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:
Minimum of 10 years of experience in capital projects controls, enterprise systems implementation, or technical project management on large or complex programs
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Project Management, Information Systems, or a related field
Ability to work report on-site as needed
This position is a 12-month contract with the possibility of receiving extension
BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:
Demonstrated experience implementing or overseeing the implementation of EcoSys (Octave Enterprise Project Performance, formerly Hexagon EcoSys) or similar
Proven experience managing a SaaS software vendor through a design, configuration, and build lifecycle as an owner’s representative – governing scope, quality, commercial terms, and acceptance against a statement of work
Strong technical project management capability – planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control across parallel workstreams
Demonstrated organizational change management (OCM) experience leading the adoption of new systems and processes across a large, complex operating environment
Working knowledge of integrating enterprise project systems – scheduling, finance/ERP, and reporting/analytics – so that cost and schedule data flow consistently across platforms
Strong grounding in project controls fundamentals – cost, schedule, contracts, change, and reporting – in a capital projects context
Experience delivering enterprise systems or controls transformation in a large, asset-intensive or capital-intensive operating environment
Familiarity with master data management and data integration challenges across enterprise project systems
Recognized project management, program, or change certification (e.g., PMP, MSP, P3O, Agile, Prosci/OCM)
Proven experience managing multiple concurrent, parallel system implementation or integration workstreams under a compressed timeline
Experience leading, coaching, and building an in-house delivery team from a vendor-led starting point
Adept client-facing skills, including preparing and presenting business cases and stage-gate recommendations to senior leadership
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.
