Senior Project Manager – Hospitality
Location: Cape Farms, Cape Town
Salary: R 840 000.00 per annum
Lead a dynamic production team where your expertise shapes the future of innovative glamping experiences.
Is this you?
You’re high-energy, positive, and thrive in a hands-on environment. With a background in construction or technical production, you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and guide a team through complex processes. You’re organised, practical, and solution-focused, able to bring structure without imposing rigidity. You fit best in informal, collaborative cultures and enjoy mentoring unskilled or semi-skilled workers to build confidence and capability.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
You’ll lead a multi-disciplinary factory team across woodworking, welding, fibreglass, and canvas production. From planning schedules and managing materials to ensuring high-quality output, you’ll be at the heart of operations, visible, proactive, and deeply involved. With direct oversight of 25–30 staff at peak times, your leadership will ensure production timelines are met and that the team grows in capability and cohesion. Your input will also support seasonal construction campaigns and contribute to process improvement.
Where you’ll be doing it
Our client is an innovative company at the forefront of the luxury outdoor hospitality sector, producing bespoke glamping structures across South Africa. Their Cape Town-based facility builds everything in-house, from wooden decks and furniture to canvas and fibreglass components. It’s a creative, fast-paced environment that values initiative, efficiency, and teamwork.
What you’ll need
You’ll bring senior-level production experience, ideally in construction or technical manufacturing. Strong organisational and people management skills are essential, as is a practical understanding of diverse production disciplines. While tertiary education is preferred, your mindset and capability matter most. Being coachable, system-oriented, and operationally savvy will set you apart.
What you’ll get
A highly competitive salary. You’ll join a fast-growing business where autonomy, initiative, and continuous improvement are genuinely valued. This is a hands-on role in a dynamic, informal culture where your leadership can shape both people and processes and where exceptional performance is recognised and rewarded.
