• Lead and mentor a dual-role team that handles both technical duties and guest services (e.g., portering, butlering, luggage handling).
• Serve as on-site lead for all preventative maintenance programs (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, life safety, etc.).
• Ensure the estate is guest-ready and running flawlessly during peak occupancy, VIP stays, and private events.
• Collaborate daily with other departments (Housekeeping, F&B, Events, Guest Services) to coordinate priorities and resolve issues.
• Support weddings and private events through infrastructure readiness, vendor coordination, and post-event recovery.
• Develop and manage an annual facilities calendar aligned with seasonal, business, and event needs.
• Manage capital improvement projects from planning to execution, maintaining historic preservation standards.
