Construction / Project Manager

About Us

We are a growing hospitality and restaurant group operating across South Florida. We create spaces where guests want to gather, and we're expanding quickly with new openings, renovations, and refreshed concepts across our portfolio.

We're looking for a hands-on Construction / Project Manager to own the build-out and renovation of our new spaces from first sketch to opening day.

The Role

The Construction / Project Manager leads construction and renovation projects across multiple locations. This is an on-site, field-based role: you'll move between active job sites as we open new locations and upgrade existing ones.

You'll manage several projects at once, including new restaurant openings, renovations and brand-standard upgrades (PIPs), bar and amenity build-outs, and multi-site rollouts. You'll be the owner's representative on every job, keeping work on schedule, on budget, and up to our standards while keeping operations running for guests and staff.

• Plan renovation work in phases so restaurants stay open and guest disruption is minimal.
• Manage FF&E and OS&E procurement, delivery, and installation timelines.
• Run punch lists, closeouts, and turnover to operations teams so new locations open on time.
• Develop repeatable processes, standards, and prototypes to support multi-site rollouts as we grow.
