posted 4 days ago
About the position
This role can sit anywhere in the US as long as it is near an Accenture Corporate Office. We are Industry X, Infrastructure & Capital Projects. We are reinventing how capital projects are planned, designed, managed and executed. We help our clients efficiently and sustainably build and upgrade the factories, plants, networks, grids, transport and public infrastructure we need to live and work. Local knowledge backed by global capabilities and experience. That's how we deliver better outcomes for our clients. Our experienced program and project managers work on the ground, hand in hand with our industry experts, strategists, technologists and ecosystem partners to help us improve project performance and outcomes. We balance the need to make improvements immediately with the desire to transform the way projects are delivered in the future. From inception to completion, we use deep "hands on" design and construction experience coupled with data, technology and AI to help bring projects in on time and on budget. While helping to execute today, we focus on building a digital backbone to improve collaboration between stakeholders, reduce risk and use resources more efficiently. We digitally enable the workforce to help them predict issues, work more effectively and ensure their safety. Together with our clients we are using technology and human ingenuity to reinvent the way our built world is created, operated and maintained.
