Maintenance Engineer
Fairway Inn & Suites | Mishicot, Wisconsin
Full-Time | $50,000–$60,000 annually
About the Position
Fairway Inn & Suites is seeking a dependable, hands-on Maintenance Engineer to take ownership of the maintenance, safety, functionality and overall condition of our property.
Our property includes a 100-room hotel, Grey Fox Bar & Restaurant, convention and banquet facilities, swimming pool and hot tub, public spaces, mechanical areas and exterior grounds.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in keeping a property in excellent condition, can troubleshoot problems independently and believes in fixing small issues before they become expensive ones.
This is a hands-on position—not a desk-management role.
Responsibilities
- Take day-to-day ownership of maintenance across the hotel, Grey Fox Bar & Restaurant and convention center
- Perform preventative maintenance throughout guest rooms, public areas, restaurant, event spaces and mechanical areas
- Respond promptly to maintenance requests from guests and staff
- Troubleshoot and complete routine plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance, carpentry and general building repairs
- Perform painting, drywall repair, caulking, patching and other cosmetic repairs
- Maintain doors, locks, fixtures, furniture and hotel equipment
- Identify recurring problems and recommend long-term solutions
- Maintain an organized preventative-maintenance program and service records
- Monitor property equipment and communicate upcoming repair or replacement needs before they become emergencies
- Coordinate specialized repairs with outside HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/life-safety and other contractors
- Maintain an appropriate inventory of tools, parts and maintenance supplies
- Assist with fire, life-safety and other required inspections
- Maintain safe, clean and organized mechanical and maintenance areas
- Work closely with the General Manager and other department leaders to keep the entire property operating smoothly
Pool & Hot Tub Responsibilities
The Maintenance Engineer will also have responsibility for the safe operation and maintenance of the property's swimming pool and hot tub, including:
- Daily inspections and required water testing
- Water chemistry and chemical levels
- Pumps, filters, heaters and circulation systems
- Cleaning and routine maintenance
- Required testing and maintenance documentation
- Identifying and addressing safety or water-quality concerns
- Coordinating specialized repairs when necessary
Current recognized pool-operator certification is preferred. Candidates without current certification may be considered if willing and able to obtain the required certification within an agreed-upon period after hire.
What We're Looking For
- Previous hotel, commercial building, facilities or general maintenance experience
- Working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, HVAC and general building maintenance
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving ability
- Preventative-maintenance mindset
- Ability to work independently and prioritize multiple needs
- Dependable attendance and strong work habits
- Ability to safely operate common hand and power tools
- Professional communication with guests, employees, vendors and management
- Willingness to respond when an urgent property issue requires attention
Hotel/resort maintenance, commercial pool, HVAC, plumbing, electrical or related trade experience is especially valuable, but we are most interested in finding a capable person who takes ownership of the property and gets things done.
Physical Requirements
This position requires regular standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders and working in mechanical areas. Candidates must be able to safely lift and carry tools, equipment and supplies weighing approximately 50 pounds when necessary and work both indoors and outdoors.
What We're Offering
- Full-time, year-round position
- $50,000–$60,000 annual salary, depending on experience
- Opportunity to take real ownership of a large hospitality property
- Ability to build and improve the property's preventative-maintenance program
- Direct working relationship with property leadership
- Stable position with a growing hospitality and golf organization
We are looking for someone who notices the loose door handle, leaking faucet or unusual HVAC noise before a guest has to tell us about it.
If you're a hands-on problem solver who takes pride in maintaining a property the right way, we'd like to hear from you.
Pay: $50,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
- Paid time off
Work Location: In person

Maintenance Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a maintenance engineer in Wisconsin?
Most Wisconsin employers require at minimum an associate degree in a mechanical, electrical, or industrial technology field, though a bachelor's degree strengthens candidacy for senior roles. Wisconsin does not mandate a state-issued license specifically for maintenance engineers, but electrically focused positions may require a Wisconsin Electrician's License issued through the Department of Safety and Professional Services. Certifications from bodies such as SMRP or NFPA are widely recognized across Wisconsin's manufacturing employers.
Which companies hire maintenance engineers in Wisconsin?
Companies currently hiring maintenance engineers in Wisconsin include First Hospitality, 3M, and Eaton, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Wisconsin's dense concentration of food and beverage manufacturers, paper mills, and industrial equipment producers means consistent, year-round demand from both large multinationals and regional firms.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most maintenance engineer jobs?
Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Baldwin have the most maintenance engineer openings in Wisconsin. Milwaukee dominates because of its longstanding industrial base in machinery and automation manufacturing, while Green Bay draws demand from paper, packaging, and food processing facilities, and Madison's openings are driven by its utilities infrastructure and growing advanced manufacturing presence.
Are there remote maintenance engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of maintenance engineer openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how hands-on the role is by nature. The portions most likely to be performed remotely include documentation review, reliability analysis, and vendor coordination rather than the core equipment inspection and repair duties.
How can I get hired as a maintenance engineer in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an apprenticeship or technician role at a Wisconsin manufacturer, where on-the-job training leads into a full maintenance engineer position. Large Wisconsin employers such as Kohler and Rockwell Automation regularly bring on maintenance technician associates who rotate through departments before advancing. Candidates coming from adjacent trades, such as industrial electrician or HVAC technician roles, are commonly considered, and earning a NIMS certification or a Wisconsin technical college credential from institutions like Milwaukee Area Technical College gives applicants a clear edge.
