Relocate to Lake Geneva, WI

Are you ready to bring your expertise to one of the Midwest’s premier resort destinations? This AAA Four Diamond, 1,300-acre resort—recognized as a Top Resort in the Midwest by Condé Nast Traveler—is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead its Engineering team.

In this role, you’ll ensure the property remains in peak condition—overseeing daily repairs, preventative maintenance, and long-term projects across 746 guest rooms, a luxury spa and salon, two championship golf courses, a ski hill, multiple dining venues, and more. You’ll guide a skilled team, ensure compliance and safety standards, and continually improve operations to create the seamless guest experiences that set this resort apart.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead and develop a team of engineers, painters, carpenters, and administrative staff
  • Oversee daily operations, scheduling, payroll, and performance management
  • Maintain facilities, infrastructure, and equipment—including HVAC, pools, kitchens, electrical, and plumbing systems
  • Manage capital projects, preventative maintenance programs, and the Waste Water Treatment Plant
  • Collaborate with resort leadership to ensure exceptional service and minimal downtime
  • Build strong communication with guests, contractors, vendors, and executives

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven leadership in facilities, maintenance, or engineering management within a resort, hotel, or similar environment
  • Strong technical knowledge across building systems, equipment, and life safety standards (OSHA, MSDS, LockOut/TagOut, etc.)
  • Ability to interpret blueprints, budgets, and procedural manuals
  • Skilled in troubleshooting, repairs, and preventative maintenance strategies
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Birchstreet, HotSOS, and building management systems (Metasys BMS a plus)
  • Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills

Perks & Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and bonus potential-up to 115K base salary
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid time off and holiday schedule
  • Discounts on accommodations, dining, spa services, and golf
  • Professional development and career advancement opportunities
  • Relocation assistance
  • Work in a stunning resort setting with a strong culture of teamwork and tradition

This is your opportunity to join an award-winning, all-seasons resort destination and play a vital role in shaping its future.
