Accenture Construct - Operations & Maintenance Readiness Manager, ANS

About the company

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.

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.

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.

Accenture Construct is Accenture's global capital projects business.

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

Your tasks

THE WORK

• You’ll develop and oversee the O&M strategy for the company’s projects, including selection of the service model (self-perform, full O&M contract, or hybrid approach), establishment of performance standards, and coordination with the operational requirements of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) and LUMA Energy (LUMA).
• You’ll lead the O&M contractor Request for Qualifications (RFQ) / Request for Proposal (RFP) process: draft scope of services, evaluate bids, negotiate long-term service agreements, and coordinate with the Procurement & Contracts Lead on commercial terms and Energy Storage System Agreement (ESSA) compliance obligations.
• You’ll build and maintain the operating procedures library, including normal operations, grid dispatch response, BESS charge/discharge cycling, agrivoltaic interface protocols, emergency response, and environmental compliance procedures.
• You’ll coordinate commissioning activities with the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, Owner’s Engineer (OE) firm, and LUMA interconnection team, ensuring all pre-energization checklists, protection relay settings, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) integration, and grid-forming inverter commissioning milestones are tracked and closed.
• You’ll develop the O&M readiness plan and staffing model: define the operating organization chart, workforce plan, training curriculum, and go-live readiness checklist aligned with FID and Commercial Operation Date (COD) targets.
• You’ll implement or configure the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), including asset hierarchy, preventive maintenance schedules, spare parts catalog, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with BESS warranty and Power Purchase and Operating Agreement (PPOA) / Energy Storage System Agreement (ESSA) requirements.

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.

Work that outlasts you. People will use what you build for forty years without knowing your name. That's the point.
