Area Director of Engineering

Sage Hospitality Group • Savannah, GA • 8h ago

Why us?

At Perry Lane Hotel and The Ann Savannah, engineering isn't just about keeping the lights on - it's about preserving the character of two of Savannah's most distinctive properties while delivering the seamless guest experience our brand is known for. As Area Director of Engineering, you'll oversee facilities and maintenance operations across both properties, working at the intersection of historic preservation and modern hospitality infrastructure right in the heart of Savannah's Historic District.

You'll join a collaborative leadership team and a culture that values craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride of ownership. This is a role for someone who wants real scope - two distinct properties, two sets of challenges, and the autonomy to build systems and standards that elevate engineering operations across the portfolio.

If you're looking for a role where your technical expertise directly shapes the guest experience at award-caliber, design-forward hotels, we'd love to talk.
