Job Description

Chief Maintenance Engineer – Hotel Property - Gainesville, FL

You're the One Who Keeps the Lights On (Literally).

We’re looking for a hands-on, take-charge Chief Engineer to lead the maintenance operations at a vibrant hospitality property. If you’re the kind of person who notices a flickering light before anyone else does—and fixes it before they blink—you’ll thrive here.

This isn’t just a wrench-turning gig. It’s about creating a safe, smooth, and high-functioning experience for guests and team members alike. You’ll be the go-to for everything from HVAC to hot water heaters, with a team behind you and the autonomy to make decisions that keep the property humming.

What You'll Own:

  • Lead and mentor a small but mighty engineering/maintenance crew
  • Run the show for preventive maintenance and emergency repairs across guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house
  • Get your hands dirty with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, pool systems, lighting, and carpentry work
  • Troubleshoot like a champ: from AC that won’t chill to a sink that won’t drain
  • Maintain a killer PM log and stay ahead of issues before they become “issues”
  • Coordinate with outside vendors when needed (but you’ll probably fix it better anyway)
  • Set and enforce safety standards that make OSHA proud
  • Represent the brand with professionalism while interacting with guests and staff

You Bring:

  • Solid experience in hotel, resort, or commercial maintenance leadership
  • Strong working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems
  • A proactive mindset, not just a reactive one
  • The ability to work a flexible schedule including weekends and holidays
  • EPA certification, pool certification, or similar licenses? Even better.

Perks and Benefits:

  • Competitive salary starting at $60K
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous PTO
  • Employee discounts
  • A property that takes pride in quality—inside and out
