Accenture Construct

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.

The Work

You’ll develop and execute global procurement and category strategies for electrical, mechanical, modular infrastructure, and long-lead equipment.

  • Lead strategic sourcing, RFPs, competitive bidding, supplier selection, and contract negotiations.
  • Manage strategic supplier relationships to ensure capacity, quality, cost competitiveness, and on-time delivery.
  • Negotiate and manage commercial agreements, pricing structures, supplier terms, and long-term contracts.
  • Evaluate supplier capabilities, manufacturing capacity, proposals, quality performance, and delivery reliability.
  • Partner with Engineering, Construction, Planning, Quality, and Operations teams to support program execution.
  • Develop capacity-planning strategies and secure supply for critical and long-lead equipment.
  • Identify and mitigate supply-chain risks, supplier constraints, and delivery or quality issues.
  • Monitor supplier and contract performance while leading escalations and corrective actions when needed.
  • Drive cost optimization, continuous improvement, and strategic procurement recommendations for key stakeholders.

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.

Here's What You'll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, category management, supply chain, construction, manufacturing, or infrastructure.
  • 5–8+ years of experience leading strategic sourcing, category management, and supplier selection activities.
  • 5–10 years of experience in commercial negotiations, contracting, pricing agreements, and supplier terms.
  • Strong experience managing strategic suppliers, capacity planning, supplier performance, and supply-chain risk.
  • Strong analytical, negotiation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

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.
