Commercial Project Manager – Hospitality & Retail Construction
Vancouver, BC | Full-Time | In-Office
MatchBox Consulting Group is working with a well-established, design-driven construction group in Vancouver’s hospitality and commercial space to recruit a Commercial Project Manager. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to build beautiful projects, work with iconic local and national brands, and be part of a company that genuinely cares about culture, people, and community impact.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love restaurant and retail projects, and want to work somewhere that still feels entrepreneurial and human, this one’s worth a look.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a buttoned-up, corporate GC role.
This is a place where:
-
Culture actually matters
-
Teams move fast and take pride in what they build
-
Projects are highly visible and shape neighbourhoods
-
People are trusted to own their work and grow
The company is re-energized, growing, and intentionally re-imagining how it operates — with a strong focus on design, craftsmanship, and collaboration.
The Work
You’ll manage multiple commercial construction projects across the Lower Mainland, with a focus on:
-
Restaurant tenant improvements and new builds (core business)
-
Retail and experiential commercial spaces
-
Fast-track schedules with high design expectations
-
6–7 active projects at any given time
These are projects people actually recognize — spaces that become part of the fabric of the city.
Who This Is For
Ideal Background
-
Project Management experience in a general contracting environment
-
Restaurant / hospitality construction experience is required for senior candidates
-
Retail TI or ICI experience is acceptable, especially for more junior candidates
-
Comfortable running multiple projects in parallel
-
Strong communicator who enjoys working directly with clients, consultants, and trades
Mindset Fit (This Matters)
-
Energetic, and entrepreneurial
-
Independent, accountable, and solutions-oriented
-
Enjoys being part of a “work hard, play hard” team
-
Takes pride in building great spaces with great people
What You’ll Do
-
Lead projects from start to finish: planning, execution, close-out
-
Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers
-
Manage schedules, budgets, and change orders
-
Ensure quality, safety, and client experience are never compromised
-
Represent the company professionally with clients and partners
-
Contribute positively to team culture and project momentum
Compensation & Perks
-
Performance-based bonus
-
Company vehicle included
-
Cell phone & laptop provided
-
3 weeks vacation + 5 sick days
-
Extended health, dental, and vision benefits
-
All projects located in the Lower Mainland
-
In-office, highly collaborative environment
Culture Snapshot
-
Deep roots in Vancouver’s hospitality scene
-
Team of ~45 people — tight-knit, energetic, and proud of their work
-
Strong emphasis on design, relationships, and community impact
-
Opportunity to work with very cool brands and creative partners
-
A place where you can genuinely feel part of something being built
Timing
-
Actively interviewing
-
Target start: mid-February
-
Strong candidates may move quickly
