The job of the hotel engineer is challenging, and given the right factors and circumstances, rewarding. Others, even colleagues at the same hotel, do not easily understand it.

The basic function of the hotel engineer's job is to take care of, operate (in some cases), and maintain the physical plant. The engineer does this by performing the functions himself or by managing or supervising the maintenance and operation functions. The sample job description lists the responsibilities of the hotel engineer.

The traditional path to the position, as with any career, is 'up-through-the-ranks'. College-educated engineers may be the current trend as the hotel engineer is now a key member of the management team.
