This role is ideal for someone with a background in architecture or design who has transitioned into project management and understands how to support the design effort while driving construction execution. You’ll be responsible for managing hospitality projects from pre-construction through closeout, working closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams to ensure successful delivery.

This role requires full-time travel and the flexibility to mobilize quickly to project sites across the USA. You’ll play a key role in managing complex hospitality projects from pre-construction through closeout, working closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams.

• A professional who embraces travel and is energized by working in new cities and fast-paced environments.
• A team player who brings energy, intention, and professionalism to every client interaction.
• Someone who understands hotel design and construction from the inside out, ideally having started in architecture or design and now leading coordination efforts.
• A motivated contributor who is comfortable being visible to clients and supporting business development efforts.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage hotel construction projects from planning through execution, ensuring alignment with client goals, budgets, and timelines.
• Coordinate design, engineering, and construction teams across all project phases.
• Support procurement, contract administration, and vendor coordination.
• Monitor and report on project budgets, schedules, risks, and quality metrics.
• Represent the client in project meetings and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.
• Assist with QA/QC efforts, value engineering, and project closeout processes.
• Participate in monthly project status reviews and provide updates to leadership and clients.
• Travel full-time to project sites across North America, with temporary relocation as needed.
• SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field.
• PMP certification is required.
• Additional certifications (e.g., LEED AP, CCM, AIA, or equivalent) are advantageous.
• 3–5+ years of experience in construction project management, with a strong focus on hospitality or hotel projects.
• Direct experience managing hotel or hospitality construction projects is required.
• Prior experience in a consulting or Owner’s Representative role is beneficial.
• Ability to manage design coordination and collaborate across disciplines.
• Strong communication, organizational, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Proficiency in MS Office and project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, Procore).
• Ability and willingness to travel 100% of the time and relocate temporarily for project assignments.
• High level of commitment and flexibility; this role demands full focus and availability.
