Accenture Construct - Senior Cost Analyst, COM
Construction Management | Engineering | Project Controls | Project Management | Full-time

Job No. 1748 | Toronto

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 “positive enough” builds the past. You're here to build what's next

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.
