About Us

At the heart of our organization is a culture built on T.E.A.M. – Together Everyone Achieves More. We believe in creating an environment where every team member feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

This isn’t just a job, it’s a place where you can build a career, make an impact, and find new reasons to love what you do every day.


About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, solutions-driven Chief Engineer to lead our engineering team and keep our hotel operating at its best. In this role, you’ll oversee all aspects of maintenance, safety, and property operations, ensuring an exceptional experience for both guests and team members.

You’ll partner closely with hotel leadership while leading and developing your team, driving preventative maintenance programs, and managing projects that enhance the overall property.


What You’ll Do
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the engineering team
  • Oversee daily maintenance, repairs, and property operations
  • Ensure all equipment, systems, and facilities are operating safely and efficiently
  • Drive and manage a strong preventative maintenance program
  • Coordinate and execute property improvement projects
  • Partner with the General Manager and Operations leadership to support overall hotel performance
  • Maintain compliance with all safety regulations, building codes, and brand standards

What We Offer

We know great leaders have choices, here’s why you’ll want to join us:

  • Competitive salary: $83,200 + bonus eligibility
  • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Voluntary Insurance
  • 401(k) with company participation
  • Generous paid time off: Vacation, holidays, and wellness time
  • Travel perks: Deep discounts at thousands of hotel locations worldwide (and sometimes dining too!)
  • Career growth opportunities within a growing portfolio
  • Convenient location near public transportation + free parking

What You Bring
  • 3–4 years of engineering leadership experience (hotel experience strongly preferred)
  • Strong technical knowledge of building systems, maintenance, and repairs
  • Ability to lead a team, prioritize effectively, and solve problems quickly
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Required licenses/certifications as applicable
  • High school diploma required; technical training or degree preferred
  • Bilingual skills are a plus

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than maintaining a building—it’s about leading a team, shaping the guest experience, and playing a critical role in the success of the hotel. If you take pride in your work, enjoy leading others, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, you’ll fit right in.

The salary for this role is $83,200.00 and bonus eligible
