USD 200k-250k / year
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.

- You’ll develop digital water offerings for Northern California, including groundwater sustainability analytics, watershed resilience tools, post-wildfire water quality response frameworks, and climate-adaptive infrastructure planning solutions, partnering with Accenture’s Technology and Innovation practices.
- You’ll manage the performance of the Northern California water business, including annual budgets and strategic objectives, and review monthly reporting covering staff utilization, budget-to-actual revenue and EBITDA, board reporting, A/R and account aging, and EEO reporting.
- You’ll oversee personnel management and service quality across the region, including hiring, evaluation and development, compensation reviews within budget parameters, business-system standards, client feedback, repeat work, surveys, and corrective action plans when necessary.
