Job description

A premier hospitality ownership group based in Denver is seeking an experienced Senior Construction Project Manager to direct high-profile capital renovation projects across an expansive, nationwide hotel portfolio. This hands‑on leadership opportunity is designed for an agile construction professional who excels in overseeing end-to-end renovation lifecycles, navigating brand-mandated Property Improvement Programs (PIPs), and collaborating directly with executive ownership, property-level teams, and general contractors. Based in the Denver metropolitan area, this position offers an exceptional lifestyle balance in one of the country’s most dynamic markets, renowned for world-class outdoor recreation, vibrant cultural amenities, and 300 days of annual sunshine.

Operating out of a collaborative, close-knit corporate team, the successful candidate will directly impact portfolio asset value across branded select-service and full-service properties while enjoying extensive professional visibility, competitive compensation, and strong organizational stability.

Position Responsibilities

Direct and execute comprehensive hotel renovation projects and Property Improvement Programs (PIPs) from initial scope definition and budgeting through construction completion and final closeout. Maintain sole accountability for managing 2 to 4 major concurrent hotel renovation and remodel projects annually across select-service and full-service properties, with zero involvement in ground-up new builds. Review brand PIP inspection reports, align project scopes with major brand requirements (primarily Marriott and Hilton standards), and negotiate brand compliance parameters. Solicit, evaluate, and award competitive bids; select prospective general contractors and specialized vendors; and negotiate contract terms and pricing. Oversee FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) packages in coordination with design consultants and procurement teams, managing delivery sequencing, on-site staging, installation logistics, and final cost reconciliations. Develop critical-path master schedules and establish work sequencing tailored to active hotel environments to minimize operational disruptions, guest impact, and revenue loss. Maintain rigorous budget controls, process contractor pay applications, review RFIs and change orders, manage contingency funds, and deliver detailed financial progress reports directly to ownership and asset management. Secure necessary municipal permits, plan approvals, and zoning variances while ensuring strict job site safety and OSHA compliance. Conduct comprehensive on-site inspections, administer punch list resolutions, oversee operational handover, and execute administrative project closeouts.

Position Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Business Administration, or an equivalent technical discipline.
• 5 to 10 years of hands‑on construction project management experience dedicated specifically to hospitality renovations, PIP executions, and interior hotel remodels.
• Demonstrated technical mastery of core hotel brand standards and renovation criteria, with deep expertise in Marriott and Hilton brand families.
• Proven ability to work directly in the field with general contractors, subcontractors, architects, and on‑site hotel operational teams rather than solely managing through third‑party project managers.
• Thorough knowledge of building systems, phased scheduling within operational hotels, FF&E procurement timelines, and local building code compliance.
• Proficiency with project management platforms, scheduling tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to travel approximately 25% to 30% nationwide to job sites, with roughly half of the asset portfolio located locally within Colorado.

Compensation Package Details

• Base Salary: $140, 000 –$160, 000 annually (commensurate with experience)
• Unlimited PTO
• Performance Bonus: Up to 20% annual bonus potential (paid annually)
• Relocation Assistance: Available for qualified non‑local candidates up to $7, 000
• Expense Allowances: $50 monthly gas allowance, full mileage reimbursement, and company‑provided mobile phone reimbursement and laptop
• Travel Coverage: 100% employer‑covered business travel expenses, including airfare, rental cars, accommodations, and per diem meal allowances
• Benefits: Comprehensive employer‑sponsored benefits package including health coverage, paid time off, and retirement benefits
