Senior Project Manager – Hospitality at The Talent Expert

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.
