Job Description

Ready to be the heartbeat of a historic gem? We're looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our talented Engineering team, ensuring top-notch maintenance programs, guest comfort, and smooth operations - all while balancing safety, efficiency, and a bit of 1920s flair.
(We just completed a $24M renovation, including two stunning new outlets - 8th Notch Cafe and Bar Cardinale - inside our beautiful 1913 landmark. Excited yet? So are we.)



Responsibilities

    Master the Essentials: Operate and coordinate all heating, lighting, power, and maintenance functions to keep the hotel running safely, efficiently, and economically.
  • Eyes on Excellence: Inspect, maintain, and oversee preventative maintenance programs for all hotel equipment and the physical plant.
  • Cross-Team Collaborator: Work with all hotel departments to maintain safe, healthy conditions that meet hotel policies and legal standards.
  • Team Builder: Interview, hire, train, mentor, and, when needed, discipline Engineering associates, partnering closely with the Human Resources team.
  • Utility Maestro: Direct Engineering associates to operate building systems effectively, ensuring guests are comfortable and services run smoothly.
  • Project Champion: Identify and recommend future capital projects; obtain bids, coordinate contractors, and oversee project completion.
  • Compliance Pro: Maintain all special permits and licenses required by local authorities.
  • Budget and Scheduling Guru: Manage staffing, scheduling, and payroll for the Engineering team with a sharp eye on efficiency and cost control.
  • Record Keeper: Maintain clear, organized records of utilities and Engineering operations.


Qualifications

  • Comfortable standing and walking for extended periods - you're built for endurance.
  • Quick to respond to sounds and move safely over uneven surfaces.
  • Ability to climb ladders safely while carrying moderate to heavy weight.
  • Willingness to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when required.
Working Environment
  • Exposure to a range of temperatures - from the heat of a boiler room to chilly rooftop mechanical units.
  • Exposure to various chemicals - always with appropriate safety measures.
Tools & Equipment You'll Use
  • Power tools and general engineering tools related to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing maintenance.
  • Office equipment including desktop computers, printers, phones, fax machines, and copiers.
Why You'll Love It Here
  • Be a steward of a living landmark that's just gotten a fresh $24M makeover.
  • Lead a dedicated, energetic team at one of Indianapolis' flagship hotels.
  • Experience the best of both worlds: the historic charm of 1913 with the modern magic of today.
  • Make a real impact on how guests experience our hotel - from the first step inside to the final farewell.
