  • Conduct routine inspections of guest rooms, public spaces, and back‑of‑house areas to ensure compliance with brand and safety standards.
  • Maintain accurate records of maintenance requests, preventive maintenance programs, and asset management logs.
  • Ensure all work is completed according to Hyatt safety and cleanliness standards and city, state, and federal codes.

Leadership & Administrative Development

  • Partner closely with the Director of Engineering to learn departmental budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
  • Assist in managing payroll, scheduling, and productivity goals for the Engineering team.
  • Participate in and lead daily department meetings, safety briefings, and training sessions.
  • Learn to develop, lead, and motivate a diverse team of engineers and maintenance technicians, fostering a positive and inclusive work culture.
  • Act as the Manager on Duty for the Engineering department in the absence of the Director or Assistant Director.
  • Serve as a liaison between Engineering and other hotel departments to ensure efficient communication and guest satisfaction.
  • Benefits

  • Medical, Prescription, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401K with company match
  • PTO, sick, and holidays
  • Paid Family Bonding Time and Adoption Assistance
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • Free colleague meals during shift
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Discounts at various retailers—Apple, AT&T, Verizon, Headspace, and many more
  • Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of hands‑on hotel or commercial building maintenance experience, preferably in a unionized or luxury hospitality environment.
  • Proven journeyman‑level technical expertise in one or more disciplines (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems).
  • Prior leadership or supervisory experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and lead through example.
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Working knowledge of local building codes, OSHA regulations, and energy management systems.
  • Proficiency with work order systems, Microsoft Office Suite, and maintenance management software.
  • Must be able to work a flexible schedule, including weekends, evenings, and holidays as needed.
  • Ability to stand, walk, and work on feet for extended periods.
