Accenture Construct - Senior Scheduler, 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 lead integrated planning and scheduling support for large-scale data center construction projects, collaborating with global teams and Portuguese-speaking stakeholders, and managing multiple project schedules simultaneously with accuracy, consistency, and timely reporting.
- You’ll develop, maintain, and improve detailed schedules, milestone tracking, dependencies, resource assumptions, and schedule reporting outputs.
- You’ll apply Critical Path Method (CPM) techniques to assess schedule logic, identify trends, communicate risks, and recommend mitigation and recovery strategies.
- You’ll partner with client teams, stakeholders, delivery partners, contractors, consultants, and Portuguese-speaking project teams to align planning outputs with project execution needs.
- You’ll coordinate schedule inputs across project controls, cost, risk, change management, and delivery teams, linking schedule performance to cost, risk, and change impacts.
- You’ll evaluate schedule performance, identify delivery gaps, dependencies, and emerging issues, and drive corrective actions.
- You’ll prepare clear schedule updates, executive-level dashboards, governance materials, and leadership-ready reporting tailored to the audience.
- You’ll facilitate planning workshops, schedule reviews, and stakeholder alignment sessions, and escalate schedule risks, critical path concerns, and execution blockers while driving accountable resolution.
- Flexible: The work location for this role will include a mix of working remotely, onsite at a client or in an Accenture office or center.
With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning, and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
