Job description

Build Hotels. Build Teams. Build the Future.

Seva Hospitality is a growing, entrepreneurial hospitality company specializing in hotel construction, development, and management based in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati. We specialize in developing high-quality, efficient, and brand-forward hotels. Our team is looking for a Senior Construction Project Manager who thrives in a fast-moving, owner-driven environment. An ideal candidate has a strong background in hotel development to lead ground-up and major renovation projects from pre-construction through close-out.

This is not a bureaucratic role. You will work directly with ownership and senior leadership, playing a critical role in shaping how our hotels are built—from early feasibility through grand opening. Candidates with hotel, multi-family, and commercial experience are encouraged to apply, with strong preference given to those with hands-on experience in Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead ground-up hotel development projects from concept through completion
  • Partner directly with ownership on budgeting, feasibility, and design decisions
  • Drive pre-construction efforts including estimating, value engineering, and scheduling
  • Manage general contractors, consultants, and trades with a focus on accountability and execution
  • Own project budgets, schedules, and quality outcomes—no handoffs, no silos
  • Oversee change orders, cost reporting, and forecasting
  • Coordinate with hotel brands to ensure standards are met without overbuilding
  • Solve problems in real time and make informed decisions in the field
  • Conduct weekly site walks, lead progress meetings, and maintain momentum through close-out
  • Support post-construction close-out, punch lists, and warranty follow-up
  • Help refine Seva’s construction processes as we continue to scale

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of construction project management experience, with a strong focus on hotel development
  • Proven success managing ground-up hospitality projects
  • Direct experience with Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction strongly preferred
  • Experience in multi-family and/or commercial construction projects
  • Strong understanding of construction contracts, Gantt chart scheduling, budgeting, and cost controls
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and fast-paced project environments
  • Proficiency in construction management software (e.g., Blue Beam, MS Project, Raken, or similar)
  • OSHA certification or equivalent safety training
  • Willingness to travel as required for project oversight

Benefits:

  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Vision insurance

Work Location: In person / Hybrid
