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. The work involves establishing end-to-end conceptual and summary schedules aligned to specifications, WBS standards, templates, and industry best practices, ensuring all project scopes are captured from inception through closeout. It also includes coordinating cross-functional stakeholders and facilitating interactive planning sessions to drive schedule alignment, improve templates, and support early milestone development using IMS/MMS/PBS/PSE concepts. You will ensure General Contractors develop fully integrated baseline schedules by reviewing Basis of Schedule documents, resolving variances, and confirming compliance with contractual CPM specifications. You will identify and manage critical and near-critical paths, peak resource periods, and scope integration within the IMS, ensuring full business alignment across funding, interfaces, and long-lead elements. You will own schedule quality by auditing Primavera P6 schedules (including DCMA 14-point checks), monitoring GC compliance, and continuously improving schedule effectiveness as a project control tool. You will lead schedule reporting and execution support by running regular performance reviews, validating progress, analyzing deviations, and communicating status through defined reporting systems and formats. You will track activity progress, out-of-sequence work, and procurement of owner, developer, and contractor-furnished equipment, assessing impacts to procurement plans and site need-by dates. You will prepare independent schedule analyses and forecasts, including completion dates, cost and cashflow implications, risks, and earned value metrics to support informed decision-making. You will identify schedule issues, perform time-impact and recovery analyses, propose mitigation plans, and review schedule changes in coordination with project and regional leadership. You will produce and maintain accurate project and program deliverables such as narratives, health reports, milestone and procurement reports, executive summaries, and ensure data integrity and stakeholder alignment across all scheduling systems.
