It Infrastructure Project Manager Italy (M/F/D)

At Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences, we believe that hospitality is more than providing a place to stay — it’s about creating memorable experiences. As a family-owned company with strong roots in the Alps and the Mediterranean, we combine entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for excellence.

In this role you take ownership of the IT infrastructure in our Italian construction projects: new hotels and resorts, refurbishments, extensions and openings. You plan the IT infrastructure of a property long before the first guest checks in, define and control the IT investment budget, review the network architecture of external planners and make sure that everything from the fibre entry point to the last access point is built the way it was planned. Once a property is open, you remain its point of contact for IT infrastructure topics. Modern hotels and camping resorts live on reliably connected technology. You make sure it is designed right, budgeted right and built right.

To further strengthen our growing hotel portfolio in Italy, we are looking for an experienced
