Accenture Construct – Data Center Senior Scheduler, ANS

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.** Visit us here to learn more about ​[Accenture Construct](https://www.accenture.com/en/construct) 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 create and manage detailed project schedules covering all phases of data center construction, from design through closeout. - You’ll define activities, sequence workflows, estimate durations, and allocate resources to build accurate timelines, optimizing workflows and resource allocations to meet project deadlines. - You’ll identify critical paths, key milestones, and dependencies to ensure schedules align with owner objectives. - You’ll track progress against the baseline schedule, preparing regular reports with earned value, milestone, and variance analyses. - You’ll identify schedule risks early, assess potential impacts, and recommend or implement mitigation strategies. - You’ll perform “what-if” analyses and develop recovery schedules to keep projects on track amid changes or disruptions. - You’ll collaborate with project managers, engineers, contractors, and vendors to communicate schedule updates, coordinating subcontractor and supplier schedules into a cohesive master schedule using tools like Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project. - You’ll document actual versus planned timelines, maintain historical schedule data, and analyze lessons learned for future improvement. - **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. ### HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED: - Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management or a related field, OR equivalent relevant experience - 10+ years of experience in project scheduling, preferably within data center or mission-critical construction projects - Proficiency in scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or equivalent platforms ### BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE: - Proven ability to manage complex schedules for large-scale projects, ensuring alignment with owner objectives - Knowledge of industry standards such as PMI or AACE scheduling guidelines is preferred - Strong understanding of construction processes, workflows, and dependencies, with a focus on MEP systems - Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail and effective communication and interpersonal skills to engage with diverse project teams and stakeholders
