The Engineering Coordinator supports the hotel’s engineering and maintenance department by coordinating work orders, preventive-maintenance schedules, contractor visits, documentation, supplies, and communication between engineering staff and other departments. The role generally requires administrative or technical experience in hotel engineering, facilities management, or a related field, along with good computer, organization, and communication skills. Knowledge of maintenance systems, purchasing procedures, health and safety standards, and basic engineering terminology is advantageous. As this position is designated for an Emirati National, UAE nationality is required. The successful candidate should be dependable, detail-oriented, service-minded, able to prioritize urgent requests, and comfortable working in a fast-paced hospitality environment while maintaining confidentiality and accurate records.

In the United Arab Emirates, the company operates luxury properties serving business travelers, leisure guests, families, and events.

The United Arab Emirates is a modern Gulf country rather than a single island, with coastal destinations including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and island resorts such as Yas, Saadiyat, and Palm Jumeirah. Hospitality, tourism, engineering, facilities management, aviation, retail, and construction offer substantial employment opportunities, while Emiratisation creates particular opportunities for UAE nationals. The culture combines Islamic traditions, Arabic heritage, and a highly international expatriate community. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities, and shopping to museums, restaurants, and major entertainment events. Employers normally sponsor work visas for expatriate employees; UAE nationals generally do not need employment sponsorship but must meet local employment requirements. Candidates relocating should confirm salary, accommodation, transport, insurance, probation, and end-of-service benefits in writing. The climate is very hot in summer, and living costs are highest in central Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
