Accenture Construct – Project Engineer, ANS
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.
THE WORK:
- You’ll oversee the design, development, and integration of electrical controls systems, including SCADA, EPMS, switchgear, power distribution, and other critical building systems for life sciences and pharmaceutical facilities.
- You’ll provide technical input on electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and civil system designs during planning, design reviews, and project execution.
- You’ll collaborate with vendors, contractors, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure all systems meet project specifications, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
- You’ll lead installation, testing, commissioning, and startup activities for building systems, ensuring compliance with project objectives and industry best practices.
- You’ll conduct schedule reviews, monitor project progress, and provide technical updates, risk assessments, and recommendations to clients and project teams.
- You’ll troubleshoot and resolve electrical controls, power distribution, mechanical, plumbing, and facility system issues during construction, startup, and commissioning, coordinating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery.
- You’ll prepare and maintain QA/QC and commissioning documentation, including test reports, issue logs, punch lists, and system validation records.
- You’ll develop turnover packages to support handoff of systems, documentation, and operational requirements to facility operations teams, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations while staying current on emerging technologies and best practices.
- Onsite at client site: The work location for this role is onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery and cultivate our client relationships.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or related field) preferred, or an additional four (4) years of related experience
- 10+ years of experience in engineering (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, civil), preferably within life sciences, pharmaceutical, or data center environments
- 3+ years of senior-level construction management or design management experience.
BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:
- Comprehensive understanding of controls systems, SCADA, EPMS, and electrical equipment including switchgear and distribution, with experience in system performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and energy efficiency optimization
- Strong knowledge of industry standards such as ASHRAE, ISO, IEC, NEC, NFPA, ASTM, ASME, and AISC related to building systems
- Strong problem-solving abilities to identify issues and propose effective solutions, with good verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with team members and vendors
- Ability to lead a diverse team of professionals in a dynamic environment while taking initiative when necessary, and experience with or coordination of design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or other relevant software
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.
