Project Executive

Project Executive – Hospitality Construction & Capital Projects Owner/Developer | National Hotel Portfolio

A privately held real estate owner/developer with a large national hospitality portfolio is seeking a Project Executive to oversee hotel renovation, repositioning, and select new construction projects across its portfolio.

This is an ownership-side role, not a general contractor position. The Project Executive will act as an internal owner’s representative, managing projects from preconstruction through closeout while ensuring schedule, budget, quality, and brand standards are achieved.

• Lead multiple hotel renovation and construction projects from planning through completion
• Serve as the owner’s representative with contractors, consultants, design teams, franchise partners, and internal stakeholders
• Manage project schedules, budgets, scopes of work, change orders, pay applications, and project reporting
• Oversee RFPs, bid packages, contractor selection, proposal leveling, and contract negotiations
• Coordinate design teams including architects, interior designers, engineers, and specialty consultants
• Ensure projects comply with hotel brand standards, PIP requirements, and operational goals
• Provide leadership and oversight to site-based project staff
• Identify risks, scope gaps, value engineering opportunities, and schedule challenges early in the process
• Travel to project sites as needed, typically several days per month

• 8–12+ years of construction management, owner’s representation, or project management experience
• Strong hospitality renovation experience preferred
• Experience managing hotel projects with budgets of $5M+
• Familiarity with franchise/brand standards and PIP processes preferred
• Strong scheduling, budgeting, procurement, and contractor management skills
• Experience using construction management tools such as Procore, MS Project, or similar platforms
• Ability to manage multiple projects and communicate effectively with ownership, consultants, contractors, and brand representatives

This is a senior-level opportunity to join a well-capitalized hospitality owner/developer with a significant national portfolio and an active pipeline of renovation and capital improvement projects.
