Complex Chief Engineer - Sheraton & Element Valley Forge | King of Prussia, PA

Are you a hands-on leader with a passion for problem-solving, innovation, and operational excellence? Wurzak Hotel Group is seeking a Complex Chief Engineer to oversee two premier properties — the Sheraton and Element Valley Forge. This is your chance to step into a high-impact role where your expertise will directly influence the guest experience, team performance, and the long-term success of two exceptional hotels.

This is more than a maintenance job — it’s a leadership opportunity to own the entire engineering operation across two distinctive brands, while working alongside a dynamic team that values precision, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing:

1. Leading and executing all maintenance operations across both hotels — including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and life safety systems
2. Managing and mentoring an engineering team while promoting a strong safety-first, service-focused culture
3. Conducting regular preventative maintenance and inspections to ensure brand standards and compliance with all codes and regulations
4. Quickly and professionally responding to service requests, emergencies, and guest concerns
5. Reviewing, approving, and managing parts, tools, and purchase orders to stay ahead of maintenance needs
6. Collaborating with hotel leadership to plan and prioritize long-term facility upgrades and capital improvements
7. Maintaining detailed logs and documentation of maintenance activity
8. Ensuring a spotless and efficient operation that guests don’t even notice — because everything just works

Who We’re Looking For:

• High school diploma or GED required; formal training in building maintenance or trades preferred
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in hotel or commercial facility maintenance
• Hospitality experience is a must — you understand how your work supports the guest experience
• Proven leadership experience in team management or departmental oversight
• Familiarity with HVAC systems, electrical controls, plumbing, and preventative maintenance programs
• HVAC and EPA Recovery Certifications are a big plus
• Someone flexible, solutions-oriented, and calm under pressure — this is a 24/7 operation

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive Salary
• Paid Time Off
• Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
• Supplemental Insurance (Life, AD&D, Pet, Legal & more)
• 401(k) with generous company match
• Wellness Programs for your physical, financial, and mental health
• Hotel & Travel Discounts
• Career Development & Training Opportunities
• A leadership role at two leading hotels in a thriving hospitality group
