What You’ll Do:
We want you to look after this hotel as if it were your home. You'll make sure broken things get fixed, and more importantly, you'll create a detailed program to ensure they don't break in the first place. From the little everyday details - maintenance of our guestrooms, public space, and the back of the house - to the big capital plans that help our hotels maintain their fresh appeal, you'll schedule, direct, and follow up to ensure each project reaches completion. You'll make sure we have the right tools and equipment and keep them organized, and that chemicals and hazardous materials are used and stored properly. You'll make sure work is performed safely and efficiently.
Here are some of the tasks you will complete on a daily basis:
- Troubleshoot and repair malfunctions in mechanical or electrical systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing) and other equipment throughout the hotel.
- Perform preventative maintenance assignments on a scheduled basis.· Lead, manage and communicate information about capital projects and property rehabilitation.
- Communicate with hotel department heads to become aware of maintenance needs and ensure timely response to internal requests.
- Hire, train, evaluate, and lead all maintenance staff.
Where You’ve Been:
You have at least 3 years of management or supervisory experience in a hotel and have experience with several areas such as HVAC, electrical, carpentry, dry walling, painting, plumbing, roofing, and landscaping. You’re able to perform in a high-paced environment with multiple tasks and deadlines and able to effectively respond to emergencies.
When You’re Here:
Although you’ll sometimes be behind the desk, be prepared to move around because you will be standing/sitting, carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and more. Be prepared to be on call at all times in case of emergency including nights, weekends, and holiday. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.

Engineering Director Jobs in Nashville: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a engineering director job in Nashville?
Target Nashville's strongest hiring sectors: healthcare IT, automotive and advanced manufacturing, and enterprise software. The highest concentration of engineering director openings sits in Midtown and The Gulch, with additional activity in Cool Springs and Brentwood. Candidates who combine a strong people-management record with deep domain expertise in one of those sectors move fastest. Building relationships through Nashville's local tech community and industry associations also gives a measurable edge over remote applicants.
Which companies hire engineering directors in Nashville?
Nashville engineering director roles are posted by Oracle, ENFRA, and Genesco and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Nashville's employer base tilts toward large healthcare systems, regional insurers, and scaled SaaS companies, all of which run sizable engineering organizations requiring experienced director-level leadership.
Are there remote engineering director jobs in Nashville?
Yes, though the role is inherently people-facing, so fully remote positions are less common than hybrid. About 33% of engineering director openings tied to Nashville are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with most offering two to three days on-site. Strategy, cross-team coordination, and vendor management duties tend to be the most remote-friendly parts of the role in Nashville's hybrid-first employer base.
How can I get a engineering director job in Nashville with little or no experience?
The most realistic path in Nashville is stepping into a senior or lead engineer role at a mid-size healthcare tech or SaaS company, building direct reports, and earning a promotion from within. Nashville's growing startup scene in The Gulch and 12South also creates openings where a strong individual contributor can take on management responsibility earlier than at larger firms. Demonstrating ownership of delivery timelines, headcount decisions, or cross-functional projects is what Nashville hiring managers look for when promoting into the director tier.
Which industries hire the most engineering directors in Nashville?
Nashville engineering director roles concentrate in Education, Fashion & Apparel, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Nashville's outsized healthcare and health-tech economy is the primary driver, while recent growth in automotive electrification suppliers and enterprise SaaS companies has expanded engineering leadership demand well beyond the traditional hospital and insurer base.
