THE WORK:

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.

Provide strategic leadership and technical oversight for track engineering across the client capital program, including engineering governance, technical integration, design assurance and track discipline support. Translate high-level Systems Engineering requirements into practical track delivery requirements and provide technical leadership and problem-solving support to project delivery teams throughout design and construction.

Lead the management and resolution of interfaces between track and other railway disciplines, including signaling/CBTC, traction power/OCS, civil structures and stations, ensuring track infrastructure forms part of a safe and fully integrated railway system.

Provide senior oversight of track-related technical risks, engineering variances, technical reviews and contractor and consultant submissions. Lead, mentor and develop the Track Engineering team and drive technical compliance and accountability across external engineering consultants and delivery partner.

This is a key engineering leadership role within the newly created Systems Engineering & Integration organizationand has been created as part of the recent client reorganization. The role is required to provide strategic technical oversight, engineering governance, asset lifecycle management and interface design for track infrastructure across the capital program.

The position will ensure track infrastructure and technical modifications are safely designed, compliant with applicable standards and effectively integrated with signaling, traction power, civil, structural and other railway systems.



This oversight is critical to managing technical and interface risk, supporting project delivery teams, safeguarding capital investment and ensuring new rail infrastructure can be safely and reliably integrated into operation

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.

The data centers behind AI. The grid behind the energy transition. The rail, water and airports everything runs on.

We plan them, engineer them, deliver them and hand them over — and unlike most of this market, we're on the hook for whether they land on time. More than 5,000 practitioners across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. One team that owns the whole thing.
