• Reliable transportation

Preferred (Not Required):

• HVAC certification

• Experience with Hilton or other major hotel brands

• You’ll be the expert. As the hotel’s primary engineering professional, you’ll have real ownership over your department and the freedom to make decisions that matter.
• Brandnew property. Everything is new, clean, modern, and built to Hilton standards — no decadesold equipment or endless backlogs.
• Hotel travel discounts. Enjoy generous employee hotel discounts across Hilton brands, making personal travel more affordable and fun.
• Stable, fulltime role. Consistent hours, predictable work, and a longterm home with a growing hospitality group.
• Supportive leadership. You’ll work with a GM and corporate team who respect the engineering function and give you the tools you need to succeed.
• Positive, teamfocused culture. We value professionalism, communication, and treating each other with respect — no drama, no chaos.
• Growth opportunities. As our portfolio expands, strong performers are the first considered for advancement.
