Job description

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Located along the scenic shores of Moonstone Beach in Cambria, Oceanpoint Ranch is a boutique coastal retreat that blends rustic ranch charm with the relaxed spirit of California's Central Coast. Set across nine seaside acres, the property features ranch-inspired accommodations, a heated pool, fire pits, lawn games, a private trail to the beach, and The Cow Tipper, a cozy on-site breakfast spot. With its beautiful coastal setting, family-friendly atmosphere, and flexible outdoor event spaces, Oceanpoint Ranch offers a unique destination for guests looking to unwind, explore, and enjoy the natural beauty of Cambria.

THE ROLE

As a General Maintenance Engineer II, you'll be a key member of the hotel's Engineering team, handling day-to-day maintenance needs with a high level of independence and technical knowledge. You'll troubleshoot and repair a wide range of hotel systems, keep preventative maintenance on track, and help ensure the property is safe, comfortable, and operating at its best. You will:

• Respond to and resolve guest and team member maintenance requests promptly and professionally, often with little to no supervision
• Perform corrective, preventive, and emergency maintenance throughout guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house spaces
• Troubleshoot and repair hotel Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems and equipment
• Apply working knowledge of HVAC/refrigeration, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, pneumatic/electronic controls, carpentry, kitchen equipment, and general building systems
• Perform preventative maintenance on guest rooms, public areas, tools, and equipment, including cleaning, lubrication, and inspection
• Identify and operate equipment and building shut-off valves when needed
• Perform basic PVC and copper pipe repairs, including soldering
• Safely use hand and power tools, chemicals, paints, and other materials required for maintenance work
• Assist with painting, drywall and wood trim repairs, light bulb and A/C filter replacement, and other general property repairs

• Support the Regional Director of Engineering and Director of Facilities with lower-level capital improvement projects, including contractor coordination and project oversight
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe engineering workspace and property
• Work collaboratively with Housekeeping, Front Office, and other departments to support an exceptional guest experience

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

The property stays safe, comfortable, functional, and well maintained because maintenance needs are identified and addressed proactively. You're trusted to troubleshoot issues independently, communicate clearly, and keep preventative maintenance and daily engineering responsibilities on track. You're also a resource for less experienced engineers and a dependable partner to hotel leadership on property improvements and projects.
