Senior Construction Project Manager – Hotel Development

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
