This is a full-time, non-management role based on-site at the resort, designed for individuals who have a strong technical background and are motivated to provide outstanding maintenance services that support the smooth operation and safety of the property. The Maintenance Engineer is responsible for responding promptly to guest repair requests, performing preventive maintenance, and ensuring that all tools, equipment, and systems operate effectively and efficiently. This includes a wide range of tasks such as troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, conducting inspections, carrying out repairs, and maintaining inventory of parts and supplies. A successful candidate will demonstrate proficiency across multiple technical categories, including air conditioning and refrigeration, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, carpentry, and general building maintenance.

Key responsibilities also include assisting with surface preparation and painting, minor repairs to drywall and wood trim, replacing light bulbs and filters, and adhering strictly to safety protocols like the Lockout/Tagout system. The role requires good communication skills to interact effectively with guests and team members, the ability to use engineering-related computer programs for preventive maintenance and energy management, and the capacity to mentor junior engineers. Additionally, the Maintenance Engineer performs Engineer on Duty duties, which involve conducting rounds and monitoring readings to ensure operational standards are met.

Prior experience in hotel engineering or maintenance, including at least two years within a hospitality environment, is preferred to ensure familiarity with the unique demands of this industry. Certification such as Universal Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Certification is required, along with a valid driver's license.
