Industry X is Accenture’s engine for transforming how the world designs, engineers, builds, and operates products and critical infrastructure. Our teams help global industrial leaders modernize and digitize their operations using advanced technologies such as digital twin, MES/PLM platforms, automation, AI, and sustainable manufacturing practices.

You will work with experienced consultants and architects on projects involving MES/MOM, production data, manufacturing process harmonization, and smart factory transformations.

  • MES / MOM platforms

  • Digital shop floor solutions

  • Manufacturing data models and reporting

  • Integration between OT systems and enterprise IT

• Prepare structured analyses, requirements, and client ready presentations

• Work in close collaboration with, and learn from, manufacturing consultants, MES architects, and other engineering teams

Basic Qualifications

• Strong analytical problem‑solving skills

• Strong interest in manufacturing operations management and the related IT/OT solutions

• Ability to understand and document manufacturing processes and capture system requirements, production people challenges

• Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary project environments.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Earlier experience of actual factory work within discrete manufacturing or process industries

• Experience in using some key manufacturing IT solutions, such as Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Advanced planning and scheduling (APS) or factory simulation
