Job description

WHO WE ARE:

Palisociety is a society of unique hotels and residences — Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, ARRIVE by Palisociety, and a growing collection of independently branded properties. Since our first hotel opened in Los Angeles in 2009, we've grown into a nationwide portfolio of neighborhood-centric hotels, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, earning recognition from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, the New York Times, and more.

We consider our employees our greatest asset: structured training from day one, consistent feedback, and a clear path for growth. We develop our leaders from within, because the strongest hospitality companies are the ones that grow their own.

ABOUT PALIHOUSE HYDE PARK VILLAGE:

Palihouse Hyde Park Village proudly offers bespoke, residential-inspired hotel suites in Tampa's historic Hyde Park neighborhood, an area known for stately homes, 19th-century architecture, and tree-lined streets. Featuring 36 oversized guest rooms and an intimate lobby lounge and cocktail bar, this lovely urban lodge is designed to welcome and charm the most discerning traveler.

POSITION PROFILE:

The Engineer Manager is the steady hand behind Palihouse Hyde Park Village — the expert who keeps our building, mechanical, electrical, and HVAC systems running safely and reliably. You'll balance hands-on repairs with proactive prevention, keeping the property safe, code-compliant, and guest-ready every single day.

THE TASK AT HAND:

• Perform preventative maintenance, repairs, and inspections on fire suppression, sprinkler, fire extinguisher, backflow, and AC systems, meeting all local code requirements.

• Respond rapidly to service calls and emergency situations, documenting and filing reports as required.

• Guide, train, and support maintenance staff on proper repair and equipment-servicing procedures.

• Conduct daily walkthroughs of the property, buildings, and grounds, addressing issues found.

• Partner with the Hotel Manager on energy efficiency, preventative maintenance, and cost-saving opportunities.

• Keep the maintenance department organized and stocked, managing supply par levels.

• Ensure all work orders are completed accurately and on time.

• Communicate clearly with the Hotel Manager and other department heads, and ensure guest concerns are handled promptly.

• Strong communication skills, good judgment, and the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment.

• Flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays, as needed

Preferred

• Certifications in plumbing, electrical, or HVAC; experience in a luxury hotel setting a plus.

Physical

• Ability to lift up to 40lbs, bend, stoop, squat, and stretch in tight or restricted spaces.

• Ability to work in varied indoor/outdoor conditions, including extreme temperatures, hazardous materials, and proximity to moving mechanical parts and electrical currents.

• Ability to work in conditions that may involve fumes, dust, odors, gases, and poor ventilation.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:

• Competitive compensation package with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus 401(k).

• Paid time off, holiday pay, and sick pay.

• Career advancement and professional development as we open new hotels and restaurants nationwide.
