About Manor Vail Lodge

Manor Vail Lodge is a luxury mountain lodge with residential condominium accommodations, steps from Vail Village. Our team delivers exceptional hospitality to guests and owners year-round, and our Engineering department is at the heart of keeping the property running beautifully through every mountain season. Manor Vail Lodge is managed by Mountain Mastery Management Inc.

About the Role

The Assistant Director of Engineering partners with the Director of Engineering to lead the Engineering department, ensuring our buildings, mechanical systems, and grounds — including the Golden Peak building across the street — are maintained to the highest standard. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll supervise and develop a skilled team, oversee preventive maintenance and capital projects, manage vendor relationships, and step in as the acting department leader when the Director is away — including leading the response to after-hours emergencies.

What You'll Do

• Lead the Engineering team's daily operations, staff, and budget, acting as Director of Engineering in the Director's absence.
• Direct, train, schedule, and supervise Engineering staff in line with department and property policies.
• Resolve guest and owner maintenance requests promptly and professionally, consistent with our luxury service standards.
• Identify deficiencies, initiate and complete work orders, and perform necessary repairs across guest rooms, condominium units, and common areas.
• Oversee and execute the property's preventive maintenance program for all mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and life safety equipment.
• Operate and maintain the Energy Management System (EMS), building automation systems, and Life Safety/Fire Alarm Systems (training provided).
• Assist in preparing and managing the annual operating and capital budgets, including tracking capital project timelines and costs.
• Manage contractor and vendor relationships, including bids, scheduling, and invoice accuracy.
• Lead emergency response and after-hours incident management as the primary point of contact for urgent property issues.
• Manage project and maintenance schedules across the department, prioritizing work to meet property needs and deadlines.
• Ensure work order quality assurance, including accurate documentation and billing accuracy for materials and labor.
• Oversee maintenance operations at the Golden Peak building across the street, including its condominium units, restaurant spaces, and common room with restroom facilities.
• Maintain compliance with OSHA, Colorado labor law, ADA, and applicable local building and fire codes.

What You Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical or trade school training in HVAC, electrical, or plumbing preferred.
• Minimum two years of engineering or maintenance experience in a hotel, resort, or luxury residential property.
• Previous supervisory or lead technician experience strongly preferred.
• Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certification preferred, or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire.
• EPA Section 608 Certification (Universal preferred) required for handling refrigerants.
• Ability to read and interpret HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing blueprints and schematics.
• Comfort working at heights and in all-season mountain conditions, including snow and ice.
• Availability for a varying schedule, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and after-hours emergency response.
