Toronto, Ontario, Canada Next Step Recruitment Full time

Senior Project Manager – Hotel Renovations (General Contractor)

Toronto, ON | Full-Time | National Travel Required

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 with deep, hands-on experience in Canadian hotel renovations
.

This is a fast-paced, operationally complex role that requires someone who can
hit the ground running
in active hotels, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and lead both
pre-construction and field execution
from end to end.

If you've delivered
guestroom, corridor, and public-area renovations in
occupied, brand-regulated hotels
and are comfortable running
3 projects at a time
with a recurring renovation cadence, this is a rare and exciting opportunity.

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:

  • Canadian hotel renovation experience
    (mandatory)
  • 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)

How to Apply

If you have
direct Canadian hotel renovation experience
and enjoy leading high-speed, multi-project renovation programs, we'd love to connect.
