Engineering Team Lee=ad

Step into a hands‑on leadership role where technical expertise, organization, and teamwork come together to keep one of New Orleans’ premier hotels operating at its best. As an Engineering Team Lead at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, you’ll serve as a go‑to resource for the engineering team — helping coordinate daily work, supporting team members, and ensuring maintenance tasks are completed efficiently and to Hyatt standards.

This hands-on role blends advanced maintenance skills with on‑the‑floor leadership. You’ll help guide workflow, provide coaching and support, and step in as needed to keep operations running smoothly — all while leading by example. If you’re a skilled maintenance professional who enjoys mentoring others and driving results without direct supervisory authority, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career.

• Help coordinate and prioritize daily maintenance tasks across the engineering team
• Coordinate and drive preventative maintenance to completion
• Support team workflow by assigning tasks as directed and tracking progress to completion
• Perform advanced maintenance and repairs (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry)
• Step in to assist with hands‑on work to ensure timely and high‑quality results
• Act as a resource and mentor to team members, providing guidance and on‑the‑job coaching
• Partner closely with housekeeping and front office to align on room readiness and guest needs
• Conduct walkthroughs of guest rooms, public spaces, and back‑of‑house areas to identify issues
• Help ensure work orders are completed accurately and efficiently
• Promote safety standards and proper maintenance practices
• Communicate updates, challenges, and priorities effectively with leadership and the team
• Identify opportunities for preventative maintenance and operational improvements

Benefits Include

• Career Growth and Advancement – Hyatt promotes from within and offers development opportunities at every level
• Affordable Benefits after 30 days – Medical, dental, vision, life, LTD, and STD coverage for full‑time colleagues
• Referral Bonuses up to $500
• Free and Discounted Room Nights at Hyatt hotels worldwide
• Paid Time Off – Holiday pay, new child leave, and personal days
• Healthcare FSA

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in general maintenance or building engineering (multi‑trade skills)
• Proven ability to lead by example and support team members in a hands‑on environment
• Experience helping coordinate work, prioritize tasks, and follow up on completion
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to balance technical work with team support responsibilities
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑volume hotel environment
