Description

Maintenance Engineer – Kenwood Inn & Spa

Kenwood Inn & Spa is a 30-room luxury boutique hotel in Sonoma Wine Country seeking an experienced Maintenance Engineer to take ownership of the property's day-to-day maintenance, preventative care, safety, and overall physical condition.

This is a hands-on, independent role working closely with the General Manager and Assistant Manager. Because Kenwood Inn is a small boutique property without a large engineering department, we need someone with broad facilities experience who can troubleshoot a variety of building and mechanical systems, complete routine repairs independently, and recognize when specialized or licensed vendor support is required.

This is not an entry-level position. The ideal candidate has several years of professional maintenance experience, preferably in a hotel, resort, hospitality, or comparable guest-facing environment, and understands how to complete work efficiently and professionally without disrupting the guest experience.

Strong technical judgment, preventative maintenance, communication, organization, documentation, and follow-through are essential.

Troubleshoot and complete routine plumbing, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, carpentry, painting, drywall, and general building repairs within the scope of the position.

Maintain and monitor pool and spa equipment, HVAC systems, boilers, water heaters, pumps, fireplaces, and related systems.

Maintain doors, locks, handles, hinges, fixtures, furniture, cabinetry, and guestroom hardware.

Perform routine exterior maintenance including irrigation adjustments, outdoor lighting repairs, power washing, and general property upkeep.

Ability to independently troubleshoot common maintenance issues and determine appropriate next steps.

Strong judgment regarding when work can be safely completed internally and when a licensed or specialized contractor is required.

Strong communication, organization, documentation, and follow-through skills.
