Find where you belong!
At Travelodge, we’re on an exciting journey of growth, opening new hotels across the UK every year. As a Construction Project Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in making these plans a reality, overseeing the build of our new hotels, ensuring every project is delivered on time, on budget, and to our exacting brand standards. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with our Development partners, internal teams, and outsourced consultants to bring each new site from blueprint to opening day, and beyond, supporting the hotel through its first months of trading to ensure every guest enjoys the Travelodge experience from day one.
What’s it all about?
As a Construction Project Manager at Travelodge, you’ll play a central role in our expansion plans, overseeing the delivery of up to 10 new hotels each year through both our development partners and our own property company. You’ll take ownership of projects once they’re ready to go on site, ensuring each hotel is built to Travelodge specification, to the required standard of finish, and within agreed timescales and budgets. Working closely with our Development, New Openings, Facilities, Estates, Brand Design, and Procurement teams – as well as outsourced consultants and contractors – you’ll coordinate every stage from construction through to practical completion and commencement of trading. You’ll also provide hands-on support during each hotel’s early trading period, quickly resolving post-completion defects to protect revenue and ensure an excellent guest experience.
Why Travelodge?
We believe in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can be their true self and belong. We work hard to improve the diversity of our teams and celebrate our differences. And we care about our colleagues’ wellbeing, so we ensure there are plenty of resources available so everyone can look after their emotional, physical, financial and work wellbeing. We call this “Better Me”.
Who will this appeal to?
This role will suit an experienced construction or property development professional who thrives on delivering high-quality projects at pace. You’ll have a proven track record of managing multiple developments simultaneously, meeting deadlines, and controlling budgets. You’ll be confident building strong relationships with contractors, consultants, and internal teams, and able to influence at all levels. Highly organised and resilient, you’ll be comfortable travelling regularly, working under pressure, and adapting to the demands of a fast-moving environment. If you enjoy seeing projects through from the drawing board to opening day – and you take pride in delivering a product that meets both brand standards and customer expectations – this is the ideal role for you.
