Director of Engineering

				Overview:

At Omni Royal Orleans, excellence isn't just a goal-it's a tradition. We are seeking a dynamic and strategic Director of Engineering to lead our Engineering department with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and five-star service.

In this critical leadership role, you will ensure the proper training and supervision of all Engineering personnel, while developing and maintaining cost-effective programs that keep our hotel operating smoothly, safely, and beautifully. Think of it as being the unsung hero who makes magic happen behind the scenes-no cape required (but we wouldn't say no to one either).

Responsibilities:

* Lead, mentor, and inspire a skilled team of Engineering professionals.
* Implement preventative maintenance programs to maximize efficiency and lifespan of hotel equipment and systems.
* Ensure the property meets all federal, state, and local safety codes and regulations.
* Manage departmental budgets responsibly, balancing top-notch operations with cost efficiency.
* Partner with hotel leadership to support new initiatives, renovations, and sustainability efforts.
* Maintain a strong presence on property to ensure the timely resolution of all maintenance needs.
* Coordinate and operate, in an economical, legal, and safe manner, all heating, lighting, power, and repair & maintenance for the hotel.
* Inspect the physical plant and equipment, and supervise the maintenance and preventative maintenance programs for all hotel areas.
* Coordinate with other departments on all work necessary to maintain general conditions, safety, and health standards set by hotel policy and legal requirements.
* Interview, hire, counsel, train, and discipline Engineering associates in partnership with the Director of Human Resources.
* Directly supervise Engineering associates in the operation and control of utilities to ensure efficient hotel services and guest comfort.
* Recommend future capital projects, obtain bids, and supervise contractors during project work.
* Maintain all special permits and licenses required by local authorities for hotel operations.
* Manage Engineering schedules, staffing, and payroll while maintaining accurate personnel records, utility logs, and Engineering documents.

Qualifications:

* Must hold valid First Class Licenses.

* Must have extensive facilities maintenance, HVAC, and mechanical experience.

* Prior resort or hotel engineering leadership experience required.

* Proven experience managing a crew of five (5) or more Engineering professionals.

* Excellent oral and written communication skills to effectively collaborate across departments.

* Ability to work weekends, holidays, and other times as needed based on operational demands-because leaks and power outages have zero respect for office hours.

* Comfortable working in both the interior and exterior areas of the hotel or resort, in all types of weather.

* 5+ years of Engineering leadership experience preferred, ideally within a luxury hotel or resort environment.

* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Facilities Management, or a related field preferred (but if you can fix a boiler blindfolded, we're listening).
