You will play a central role in safeguarding compliance, supporting guest experience, and delivering long-term operational excellence.

• Flexible, resilient, and able to thrive in a dynamic, high-expectation environment, with a willingness to respond to operational needs outside of standard hours.

Key Responsibilities

• Heritage Estate Compliance & Preservation: Lead all engineering activities in line with heritage regulations and conservation requirements, ensuring works protect the estate’s architectural and historic integrity.
• Operational Oversight & Asset Management: Oversee the full range of engineering services, including life safety systems, HVAC, electrical, mechanical, water hygiene, and estate infrastructure. Manage vendor relationships and ensure effective response to reactive maintenance needs.
• Budget & Capital Projects: Develop and control departmental budgets, deliver capital investment programmes, and identify opportunities for operational efficiencies.
• Health & Safety & Compliance: Ensure statutory compliance across all areas, lead risk assessments, oversee emergency response protocols, and drive a proactive safety-first culture.
• Team Leadership & Development: Lead, inspire, and develop a skilled engineering team, promoting a service-focused, solutions-driven approach aligned with luxury hospitality standards.

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of the engineering function within a world-class heritage resort, combining modern operational excellence with the stewardship of a historic estate.
