What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Engineer - Luxury Private Island Resort position at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, a Noble House Resort?
Description
A Slice of Paradise:
Little Palm Island Resort and Spa is one of a kind: situated on a private island in the Florida Keys, Little Palm is accessible only from the shore station by our private ferry.
For decades, guests have come to experience the exotic destination, award-winning fare, uncompromising service within a luxurious, yet comfortable island atmosphere. After a multi-million-dollar renovation, prompted by hurricane Irma, (a refurbishment following hurricane Ian), Little Palm Island reopened with a splash in April 2020. With 30 luxury rooms and suites, a Balinese-style spa, exclusive waterside dining, and other spectacular amenities, Little Palm is once again exceeding all guest expectations.
The Job:
The Chief Engineer is in charge of preventative maintenance, repair and operation of all resort systems, equipment, facilities and grounds. You can imagine that keeping a private island in top shape gets a lot more complicated than a city hotel. Thus, in order to be successful as the new Chief Engineer, we are looking for someone with a full tool bag, literally and figuratively, who can manage a multitude of projects at once.
Requirements
As Chief Engineer at Little Palm Island, you must:
1) have in-depth knowledge and engineering experience at a hotel/resort in a remote setting. Think: No Home Depot next door and waiting 48 hours for a tech to show up.
2) have a resourceful, solution-oriented mentality to overcome all mechanical and weather-related challenges. You bring a pro-active approach and possess keen preventative maintenance skills. You keep calm and make things happen when things go wrong.
3) bring a positive, results driven leadership style to build, teach and train your maintenance and grounds teams. You are known as the Chief from whom everyone gets to learn.
