Full job description

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.

As Accenture continues to grow, you may see a variety of new career opportunities, and depending on the role and location you may be directed to apply through Accenture LLP or one of our other legal entities - Accenture Construct LLC or Accenture Construct Inc., with benefits varying by country and role, so please check with your recruiter for details.

THE WORK:

  • You’ll develop and review cost estimates in accordance with AACE Class 1–5 standards and standardized Bridges & Tunnels (B&T) methodologies, using tools including Bluebeam and RS Means Online to improve estimating accuracy and efficiency.

  • You’ll prepare change order estimates and bid analyses, compare estimated values against post-bid outcomes, and provide estimating support for value engineering, constructability reviews, indirect rate analysis, and personal services contracts.

  • You’ll design, develop, and oversee Microsoft Power Platform solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI, linking data from IMPACT, PeopleSoft, Primavera P6, and other platforms to improve estimating, scheduling, reporting, and data visualization.

  • You’ll build advanced Excel models using pivot tables, macros, and VBA scripts and apply AI prompt engineering to automate workflows, enhance data analysis, and improve estimating and scheduling processes.

  • You’ll establish and optimize SQL databases and customize SharePoint sites to support efficient project-data storage, retrieval, reporting, collaboration, and information sharing.

  • You’ll integrate estimating, scheduling, and reporting platforms into cohesive digital systems, including migrating B&T estimating data into the new HCSS database structure libraries being developed by MTA Construction & Development.

  • You’ll apply CPM scheduling methodology to connect data structures across Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Planner, and other B&T internal platforms and support B&T estimating and digital systems needs.

  • WORK LOCATION

This role is site specific and embedded with the client in New York, NY 10004, with project site visits as required.

Every role here has some in-person time — for collaboration, for learning, and because capital projects happen in physical places. We'll be as flexible as we can around how you make that work.
