This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives on travel, embraces new environments, and is eager to grow their construction project management career within the Owner’s Representative and consulting space.

This role requires full-time travel and the flexibility to mobilize quickly to project sites across the USA.

• A person who wants to experience life on the road—traveling full-time, living in new cities, and working on complex, fast-paced hotel projects.
• Someone who speaks about work, lifestyle, and client relationships with energy and intention.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the Senior Project Manager in managing strategic plans and initiatives.
• Coordinate design, engineering, and construction teams through all project phases.

• Oversee development of construction documents and manage value engineering.
• Monitor budgets, schedules, and project controls.
• Represent the client in meetings with stakeholders and ensure project alignment.
• Assist with QA/QC, vendor coordination, and project closeout processes.
• SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Requirements:

• Strong communication, organizational, and presentation skills.
• Proficiency in MS Office and project management tools.
• Must be able to travel 100% of the time and relocate temporarily as needed.
