About The Position

My client is a growing hospitality renovation contractor doing $25M+ in annual revenue, running occupied hotel renovation projects across the country for upper-tier flag portfolios. Ownership-led, direct culture, no HR layer, clear growth trajectory. They are hiring a Project Engineer to work out of their Dallas office and support Project Managers and Superintendents on active hotel renovation projects across the country. Growth track into full PM ownership over time.

This role is the organizational backbone on active hotel renovation projects, coordinating from the Dallas office. You keep the paper straight so the PM can stay on scope, budget, and clients, and so the Superintendent can stay on the field. Day to day, you prepare and track RFIs, manage submittal logs and review cycles with architects and ownership, chase long-lead FF&E, verify materials hit the site on time, and coordinate delivery logistics with the property. You update master schedules, track change orders and cost information, monitor subcontractor documentation, and generate weekly project status reports. On closeout, you own punch list tracking, warranties, manuals, and final documentation for owners and brands. Procore is where the work lives. Bluebeam is the second daily tool. Excel is the third. You will get pulled into scope, budget, and change order conversations as fast as you can hold your own.
