About the location:
Old-world elegance along the Caspian Sea. Straddling the Middle East, Europe and Asia, the enigmatic capital of Azerbaijan sits on the coast of the opal-blue waters of the Caspian Sea, with the Caucasus Mountains to the west. Our beaux-arts–style Hotel is perched along the waterfront in the heart of central Baku, with the medieval walls of the Inner City just steps away and a trio of flame-shaped, modern skyscrapers flickering nearby. It’s a contrast that perfectly sums up our evolving city: ancient, modern and a little daring, all at once. Join us for breakfast on the terrace at Zafferano, followed by a relaxing treatment in our sun-lit penthouse Spa, then come discover Baku with us.
The Role of Director of Engineering:
We are seeking a Director of Engineering to join our leadership team and provide strategic and operational direction across all engineering and maintenance functions of the hotel.
Reporting to the General Manager, you will be an integral member of the Hotel Leadership team, contributing to key strategic and operational decisions that support the safety, sustainability, efficiency, and long-term performance of the property.
You will lead a team of Engineering and Maintenance specialists responsible for all aspects of interior and exterior facilities, including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, structural systems, landscaping, and public areas. You will oversee life and fire safety systems, energy and environmental initiatives, and asset protection programs to ensure the comfort, safety, and wellbeing of both guests and employees.
This role includes full accountability for engineering operations, preventative maintenance strategy, capital planning, project execution, contractor oversight, procurement decisions, and budget management. You will work closely with ownership representatives, consultants, and contractors on renovation and construction projects, ensuring that all works align with Four Seasons standards and contractual requirements.
You will drive continuous improvement in maintenance practices, asset lifecycle planning, and service reliability, balancing preventative, and reactive maintenance strategies to optimize performance and reduce long-term risk and cost. As a leader of people, you will build, develop, and inspire a high-performing engineering team through strong recruitment, coaching, training, and performance management practices.
Critical to success in this role is the ability to deliver technical excellence while fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and service, ensuring engineering operations fully support the guest experience and operational excellence of the hotel.
Our Ideal Director of Engineering Candidate Will Have:
Proven leadership experience in hotel or large-scale building engineering and maintenance operations, with at least five years in senior management capacity.
A professional degree in an Engineering discipline or a recognized technical or trade qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering.
