Relocation Opportunity | Midwest U.S.
We are partnering with a rapidly growing casino and resort operator undergoing a $150M+ expansion, including a newly built hotel, upcoming rooftop restaurant, and multiple large-scale development initiatives.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role reporting directly to the CEO, helping shape the future of a destination property.
The Role
This position will lead construction, capital projects, and development execution across the property.
You will oversee everything from new builds and renovations to vendor management and project delivery, acting as the central driver behind major expansion initiatives.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead large-scale construction and development projects (hotel, F&B, resort amenities)
- Manage architects, contractors, and development partners
- Oversee capital budgets, timelines, and project execution
- Partner with leadership on development strategy and expansion planning
- Navigate permitting and regulatory processes as needed
What We’re Looking For
- Experience leading capital projects, construction, or development initiatives
- Background in casino, resort, hospitality, or commercial real estate development
- Proven track record managing multi-million dollar projects
- Strong leadership, communication, and execution skills
Why This Role Stands Out
- Direct exposure to ownership / CEO
- High visibility, high impact role
- Opportunity to shape a growing destination property
- Work on large-scale, tangible projects (not theoretical strategy)
