As part of the Engineering Maintenance team, you take pride in keeping the property in top shape by performing preventative maintenance and hands-on repairs throughout the hotel.

• Be Detail-Oriented & Organized - Take care of routine preventative maintenance across guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house spaces. Maintain required documentation such as boiler logs and PM logs. Keep tools, supplies, and work areas clean and organized.
