Why consider this opportunity?!
This role offers the chance to transition into a client-side position with a leading hospitality group, working on high-profile resort and development projects in a unique international setting. It’s an excellent opportunity for a strong commercial professional who is looking to broaden their impact, work closely with senior stakeholders and play a key role in the delivery of landmark hospitality assets.
As this is a remote island location, day-to-day life and amenities can differ from those in major cities, and schooling options are more limited. For that reason, the role is likely to be best suited to candidates who are genuinely excited by island living and open to a flexible international move.
If you have a strong experience in a Professional Quantity Surveying (PQS) consultancy environment in hospitality, hotel, mixed-use or large-scale commercial developments and are open to an exciting Caribbean relocation opportunity, we’d love to hear from you!
