Infrastructure & Capital Projects – Senior Project Manager, ANS
THE WORK:
- • You’ll serve as the single point of contact and delivery owner for assigned electric infrastructure project(s), from scope development through construction closeout — coordinating engineering, construction, permitting, contractors, and utility stakeholders.
• You’ll lead the planning, execution, and delivery of substation and transmission/distribution line projects, including regular site visits to monitor progress and resolve field issues directly with contractors.
• You’ll report on scope completion and deviations, project schedules, and budgets — including monthly forecasting, variance analysis, financial controls, and risk mitigation plans.
• You’ll develop and maintain integrated project schedules with multiple dependencies using MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent tools, with support from a Project Controls analyst.
• You’ll support contractor selection, contract preparation, procurement, and materials management, and provide day-to-day oversight of contractor performance.
• You’ll monitor and coordinate project schedules throughout design and construction; oversee technical accuracy, efficiency, coordination, and constructability.
• You’ll ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and utility requirements; review construction documents and deliverables for compliance with approved scope and budget.
• You’ll communicate regularly with Accenture leadership, PG&E management, critical project partners, and public-sector stakeholders — including preparing project updates and formal presentations for senior leadership.
• You’ll develop interface management strategies across multiple, concurrent projects and provide the framework for reporting and control systems.
• You’ll identify and implement innovative processes that reduce cost and/or schedule without compromising safety or quality.
• You mentor and provide guidance to less-tenured project managers on the account team.
Flexible: 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.
