Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects•San Francisco, CA

13h•Hybrid

About The Position

At Accenture Infrastructure & Capital Projects, 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. 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.
