Engineering Manager

Salary Range: $80,000 - $90,000

Lodge Works is a privately held hotel development and management company. While our name isn’t on the hotels themselves, our extraordinary culture is at the heart of our 19 hotels — including our award-winning Archer Hotel boutique collection and our portfolio of other great brands with familiar names, such as Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Aloft, and Hampton Inn.

We’re thrilled to be considered industry innovators with a rich 40+ year history. Yet, what we are most proud of is the strong family culture we have developed and maintained while growing to 1100+ employees nationwide. At Lodge Works, hospitality is more than just the industry in which we work; it defines everything we do. Maybe it’s because we’re grounded in Midwestern hospitality (our home office is in Wichita, Kansas, while our hotels are scattered across the U.S.).

Or maybe it’s because we actively work to make hospitality (with each other, our guests, our clients and partners) the foundation upon which everything is built.

The Engineering Manager is responsible for working alongside the Chief Engineer and helping to manage the Engineering Department and all the hotel maintenance needs, inside and out. This position helps to oversee the day-to-day operations, all maintenance requests and the service and repair of all equipment while supporting the Lodge Works goals of guest satisfaction, cost control and profitability.

The Engineering Manager also works alongside the team while participating in the Lodge Works Preventative Maintenance program to ensure that all guest rooms and public spaces meet Lodge Works/Brand standards, as well as helping with any task the Chief Engineer has assigned.

In addition, the Engineering Manager assists the Chief Engineer with completing frequent safety checks and quarterly checklists with the expectation of being proactive and finding and correcting any would-be issue before it becomes an issue.
