Assistant Director of Engineering

Thackerville, OK

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING

Starting Pay: $90K + DOE

Big property. Big responsibility. Big opportunity.

WinStar Hotel is looking for an experienced Engineering leader who knows what it takes to keep a large, complex property running at its best.

This isn't a desk-and-spreadsheet kind of engineering role. We're looking for someone who can lead a team, troubleshoot problems, manage critical systems, work across departments, and keep the operation moving — even when the unexpected happens.

If you're an experienced hotel Engineering leader ready for your next challenge, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As Assistant Director of Engineering, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day operation and long-term care of the hotel, including:

• Leading and coordinating daily Engineering operations and team activities
• Overseeing preventive maintenance and repairs throughout the property
• Supporting the operation and maintenance of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, boiler and building systems
• Conducting property walk-throughs to identify safety, maintenance and operational concerns
• Managing vendors, inspections and service contracts
• Helping develop budgets, forecasts and cost-effective maintenance solutions
• Overseeing energy management and preventive maintenance programs
• Supporting hotel safety, security, emergency preparedness and compliance initiatives
• Managing maintenance of the hotel's pool, grounds and exterior areas
• Ensuring work orders and maintenance requests are completed efficiently and timely
• Hiring, training, coaching and supervising Engineering team members
• Partnering with other hotel departments to support guest and employee satisfaction
• Investigating and resolving Engineering-related guest concerns
• Maintaining company standards and following up on inspection deficiencies
• Stepping in during hotel emergencies when your expertise is needed
• Serving as an active leader on the hotel's Safety Committee

Required

THIS ROLE IS FOR AN EXPERIENCED ENGINEERING LEADER

3-5 years of experience working DIRECTLY in a Director-level Engineering position at a medium-to-large hotel/property.

This is an important requirement. We're looking for someone who has already led at the Director level and understands the complexity, pace and accountability that comes with operating Engineering at a substantial property.

You'll Also Need

• 5+ years of Engineering/Maintenance experience
• 3+ years of direct maintenance supervisory experience
• Strong knowledge of electrical, HVAC, boilers, mechanical systems, plumbing and building maintenance
• Experience with hotel/property operations
• Strong employee relations and team leadership skills
• Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities
• Strong organizational and analytical skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, demanding environment
• Microsoft Office proficiency
• Ability to work all shifts as needed

What Success Looks Like

You're the person who can walk a property and spot the problem before it becomes a bigger problem.

You know how to lead a team while still being willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in.

You can take a complicated technical issue and explain it in a way that everyone understands.

And when something unexpected happens?

You don't panic. You lead.

WHY WINSTAR?

At WinStar Hotel, Engineering is about much more than fixing things. You're helping protect the guest experience, our employees, our property and the operation as a whole.

If you're ready to bring your experience, leadership and technical expertise to a dynamic hospitality environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Ready to lead whats next? Bring your experience. Bring your expertise. Bring your leadership.
