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)
