Our client, a luxury hotel in Cape Town, is seeking a skilled Engineering Supervisor to lead the day‑to‑day preventive and reactive maintenance of all facilities, plant, and equipment. In this hands‑on leadership role, you’ll ensure every physical aspect of the property operates safely, efficiently, and flawlessly—upholding the exacting standards expected of an ultra‑luxury hotel.
You will guide a dedicated maintenance team, champion technical excellence, and maintain the hotel’s pristine presentation, ensuring guests experience an environment that is consistently immaculate, reliable, and beautifully maintained.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Trade qualification in Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, or Building Maintenance (essential).
- Minimum 3–5 years’ maintenance experience, preferably in a hotel or hospitality environment.
- Experience in a supervisory role advantageous.
- Knowledge of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
- Valid driver’s licence advantageous.
- Candidates must be actively and currently employed in this position or a directly comparable role, with a minimum of 1 year of continuous, uninterrupted tenure in that capacity at the time of application.
- Proven hotel pre-opening experience is essential. The candidate must have been an integral member of a hotel opening team, actively involved in establishing operational standards, systems, service culture, and team structures from the ground up prior to the property’s first guest arrival.
- Demonstrated experience serving an international, high-net-worth, and culturally diverse clientele, with a refined understanding of the nuanced expectations, sensitivities, and preferences of discerning global travellers.
- Prior experience within an ultra-luxury property is strongly preferred, with a thorough understanding of the intimate, detail-obsessed, and hyper-personalised service culture that defines a boutique operation — where every guest interaction carries the full weight of the brand and no request is too small to matter.
