Your Growth
At McKinsey, you can build a career out of making things happen. You will be working with McKinsey's Capital Excellence (CE) service line in North America.

CE is a rapidly growing service line with deep functional expertise focusing on the following issues: capital allocation & portfolio optimization; business case, concept/design optimization; procurement and contracting; construction, commissioning and ramp-up; and organizational capabilities. We provide a unique set of tools and techniques to help clients identify opportunities that represent a robust set of value propositions across the entire CapEx value chain.
Your Impact

This rotation is designed to give you hands-on experience across the full lifecycle of capital programs, while building your proficiency in the analytical tools that drive client impact.

Working alongside clients and other McKinsey colleagues, you'll combine research, analyzing data, interviews, and brainstorming to generate fresh insights and breakthrough solutions. Your commitment to our values will be crucial in earning our clients' trust and delivering results that matter.
