Director of Engineering
Hilton Dallas/Park Cities, Bentonville, Arkansas, United States, 72712
In this role, you’ll be responsible for elevating and strengthening an already fully operational engineering function. That means gaining a deep understanding of the building’s existing systems, optimizing current processes, and leading an engineering team that takes pride in keeping the hotel performing at its best each day.
Your focus will include:
Enhancing and maintaining all preventive maintenance protocols,
operational checklists, and long-term asset protection plans to ensure the property remains in peak condition.
Hiring, leading, developing, and mentoring a high‑performing engineering team
who consistently deliver reliable, guest‑focused operations.
Managing and refining vendor relationships and service agreements to support
efficient, cost‑effective, and dependable building performance.
Updating and enforcing SOPs and emergency response plans
that prioritize guest safety, system integrity, and operational continuity.
Partnering cross‑functionally
to support seamless hotel operations and contribute to a culture of collaboration, accountability, and care.
You’ll become the leader who knows this building inside and out—and the one who ensures it continues to operate safely, efficiently, and reliably. We’re looking for a hands‑on, detail‑minded professional who understands that every system, switch, and sensor plays a role in delivering
thoughtful design, responsible operations, and genuine hospitality.
