Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Hotel and Restaurant Renovations, this role is a key member of the Design & Construction Team, partnering closely with our Restaurant Brand Leaders. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role responsible for providing end-to-end oversight and coordination of restaurant renovation and new construction projects — from early-stage concept development through to project close-out.
The successful candidate will be instrumental in delivering high-quality renovations that uphold brand standards, meet operational timelines, and align with budget expectations. Working across multiple active job sites and collaborating with cross-functional teams, this individual must bring strong organizational skills, construction experience, and a solutions-focused mindset.
Key to success in this role will be the ability to manage competing priorities, lead with accountability, and maintain a consistent attention to detail — all while keeping communication clear, proactive, and professional. Your key duties in this role are:
- Create, maintain, and monitor project plans, schedules, budgets, and expenditures
- Develop, coach, and mentor a self-performing renovation team
- Organize, attend, and contribute to regular project meetings
- Document and follow up on key decisions and action items
- Issue, track, and administer all purchase orders
- Coordinate the delivery and scheduling of materials, trades, and suppliers
- Ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget
- Identify and manage project changes, risks, and issues
- Provide day-to-day administrative and operational support
- Develop project strategies and maintain comprehensive documentation
- Facilitate meetings and distribute accurate meeting minutes
- Create and manage a project calendar to meet objectives
- Ensure stakeholder input is captured and incorporated into decisions
- Maintain compliance with internal project frameworks and documentation standards
The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of technical knowledge, hands-on project experience, and excellent interpersonal skills. Specifically, we’re seeking someone who has:
- 2–3 years of experience in a construction-related role or restaurant facilities role, with direct involvement in project or site coordination
