Infrastructure & Capital Projects – Senior Project Manager, ANS

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Report on scope completion and deviations, project schedules, and budgets — including monthly forecasting, variance analysis, financial controls, and risk mitigation plans.
• Develop and maintain integrated project schedules with multiple dependencies using MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent tools, with support from a Project Controls analyst.
• Support contractor selection, contract preparation, procurement, and materials management, and provide day-to-day oversight of contractor performance.
• Monitor and coordinate project schedules throughout design and construction; oversee technical accuracy, efficiency, coordination, and constructability.
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and utility requirements; review construction documents and deliverables for compliance with approved scope and budget.
• 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.
• Develop interface management strategies across multiple, concurrent projects and provide the framework for reporting and control systems.
• Identify and implement innovative processes that reduce cost and/or schedule without compromising safety or quality.
• Mentor and provide guidance to less-tenured project managers on the account team.

Requirements

• 10+ years of direct project management experience on electric transmission, substation, distribution and/or comparable heavy civil/utility infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects through a formal utility gate/stage process from a client-facing or consulting capacity.
• PG&E experience is strongly preferred.
• Professional experience with MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent scheduling tools; familiarity with SAP Financials / Work Management modules a plus.
• Strong knowledge of cost management, budget forecasting, and risk management/mitigation practices, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field; equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license a plus, particularly for substation or transmission line scopes.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate or ability to obtain it within 6 months is a plus.
