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
