Keep It Running. Keep It Beautiful. Keep Guests Comfortable.

When everything in a hotel is working the way it should, most guests never think about it—and that's exactly the point.

Behind every comfortable guest room, working air conditioner, bright hallway, clean pool, functioning piece of equipment, and well‑maintained space is a dedicated Engineering team making it happen.

We’re looking for an Engineer who enjoys working with their hands, solving problems, learning new skills, and taking pride in maintaining a great hotel environment.

If you're the person friends call when something needs to be fixed, you're naturally curious about how things work, and you enjoy seeing the results of your work, this could be a great opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do

• Assist with preventative maintenance throughout the hotel.


• Complete maintenance work orders and repairs to maintain the hotel's quality standards.


• Perform scheduled preventative maintenance assignments, including guest room “room care.”


• Inspect electrical systems such as air‑conditioning controls, televisions, and lighting systems and perform minor repairs or replacements.


• Assist with routine and major repairs involving hotel equipment and systems.


• Work with equipment including:
  
  
  
  • HVAC systems
  
  
  • Boilers
  
  
  • Pool equipment
  
  
  • Plumbing systems and fixtures
  
  
  • Kitchen equipment
  
  
  • Laundry equipment
  
  
  • Small appliances
  
  
  • Hand and power tools
  
  
  
  


• Service the hotel pool, including cleaning filters and adjusting chemicals as required.


• Complete maintenance request forms and maintain accurate maintenance logs.


• Help maintain the hotel's exterior and curb appeal through tasks such as painting, gardening, lawn care, and snow removal as applicable.


• Repair, refurbish, paint, and finish guest room furniture and fixtures, including cabinets, tables, chairs, doors, windows, and counters.


• Respond professionally and courteously to guest questions, requests, and maintenance concerns.


• Communicate maintenance issues and work progress to the appropriate leadership.


• Assist coworkers and other departments when needed.


• Operate heavy machinery and work safely in varying temperature conditions.


• Complete other job‑related duties as assigned.

The position is intentionally broad and hands‑on, with responsibilities ranging from preventative maintenance and electrical systems to HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, furniture repair, and building appearance.
