Job description

Senior GC Hotel Renovation Construction Project Manager

Next Step Recruitment is looking for a Senior Project Manager with deep, hands‑on experience in Canadian hotel renovations.

About the Role

We’re supporting TRIP Contracting—a specialized General Contractor focused exclusively on national hotel renovation programs—on the search for a Senior Project Manager capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously, leading both pre‑construction and field execution from end to end.

This is a fast‑paced, operationally complex role that requires someone who can hit the ground running in active hotels and lead both pre‑construction and field execution from start to finish.

What You’ll Lead

• Oversee 3 concurrent hotel renovation projects (guestrooms, corridors, lobbies, amenities, BOH areas)
• Manage full pre‑construction and estimating, including scope breakdowns, trade packages, takeoffs, budgets, and buyout
• Build and maintain detailed phasing and sequencing plans aligned with room blocks, shutdown windows, quiet hours, and brand expectations
• Lead kickoff, milestone reviews, and turnovers — including bi‑weekly national travel to active sites
• Work closely with site supers, trades, designers, and hotel GMs/engineering teams
• Drive tight schedules, rapid turnovers, and consistent delivery across a high‑volume annual program
• Ensure brand‑package compliance, quality execution, and operational coordination in guest‑occupied environments

Who Thrives Here

This environment is ideal for someone who is:

• Hands‑on, boots‑on‑the‑ground — comfortable being on site, troubleshooting, and working directly with supers
• Skilled at fast‑cycle, recurring renovation programs (hotel PIPs, retail rollout, senior living, student housing, etc.)
• Excited by high‑velocity, multi‑project delivery rather than long‑cycle new builds
• Strong in estimating, pre‑construction, and value engineering
• Confident navigating occupied, revenue‑impact environments with room blocks, guest flow, shutdowns, etc.
• Highly organized, schedule‑driven, and excellent at structured communication

Required Experience

Applicants must have all of the following:

• Experience working GC‑side on interior renovation projects
• Strong estimating ownership – trade‑by‑trade scopes, budgets, and buyouts
• Demonstrated success in occupied or operational renovations (hotels, senior living, hospitals, student residences, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple projects at once in a fast‑paced environment
• Experience with detailed sequencing and phasing

Nice to Have

• Experience with Hilton, Marriott, Choice or other brand packages (PIPs, design standards, brand reps)
• Multi‑property or multi‑site renovation programs
• Strong MEP awareness for operational hotels (shutdowns, tie‑ins, life safety)
