Skilled Maintenance Engineer at Jekyll Island Club Resort

This is a hands-on, skilled maintenance position for an experienced professional with a strong background in multiple trades, including painting, carpentry, guest room preventative maintenance, drywall repair, flooring, basic plumbing, and general building maintenance.

As a Skilled Maintenance Engineer, you will perform repairs and preventative maintenance throughout guest rooms, restaurants, event spaces, public areas, offices, and back-of-house facilities.
