About the Opportunity
Hyatt Place South Reno is looking for a hands on Maintenance Engineer who takes ownership of the physical condition of the hotel. This is a working role, not a supervisory one.

- Complete daily walk throughs of the building, grounds, parking areas, and mechanical rooms, correcting hazards immediately
- Support snow and ice removal, exterior upkeep, and seasonal readiness through the winter months
- Maintain the tool room, parts inventory, and MSDS documentation in an organized and compliant condition
- Escort and monitor contractors on property, verifying work quality before sign off
- Assist with guest room refresh projects, furniture moves, and banquet or meeting room setups as needed
- Participate in an on call rotation for after hours emergencies

- Comfort using a phone or tablet to receive, update, and close work orders
- Valid Nevada driver's license and clean driving record
- Strong guest service instincts and a professional presence in occupied guest rooms
- Flexible availability including weekends, holidays, and emergency call ins
- Own basic hand tools; specialty tools and equipment provided by the hotel
