- Demonstrated success managing capital projects from planning through completion.
- Strong experience with budgets, bids, contractors, change orders, and vendor negotiations.
- Experience building or implementing preventive maintenance and CMMS/work-order systems.

Preferred Background
We welcome candidates from backgrounds such as:

- Hotel or Resort Engineering Director
- Regional Facilities Manager
- Corporate Facilities Director
- Director of Construction or Capital Projects

- Property or Asset Manager with physical-asset responsibility

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is not simply someone who manages maintenance tickets and calls contractors.
We are looking for a leader who can build the infrastructure around the company's assets—creating systems, standards, accountability, and long-term capital discipline.
