The Assistant Director of Engineering supports the Director of Engineering in managing all resort maintenance, utilities, plant equipment, buildings and technical services. The role typically requires a diploma or degree in mechanical, electrical, civil or building services engineering, along with several years of supervisory experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or resort. Strong knowledge of preventive maintenance, HVAC, electrical systems, water treatment, fire and life-safety systems, energy conservation and local compliance standards is expected. The candidate should be hands-on, organised and commercially aware, with the ability to lead technicians, manage contractors, control budgets and respond quickly to operational emergencies. Excellent communication, problem-solving and guest-service skills are important, as is flexibility to work shifts, weekends and on-call duties.

Mauritius offers opportunities in luxury hospitality, tourism, engineering, construction, finance, technology, healthcare and education. The culture blends Creole, Indian, European, African and Chinese influences, with English widely used in business and French and Mauritian Creole common in daily life. Island living provides beaches, warm weather, hiking, water activities and a relaxed community atmosphere, although imported goods, housing in popular areas and private schooling can be expensive. Non-citizens normally need employer sponsorship and an approved work or occupation permit before starting employment; requirements depend on salary, qualifications and the role. Relocating candidates should confirm accommodation, medical cover, transport, tax, dependent arrangements and repatriation benefits in the employment contract. Resort roles may include staff accommodation, meals, transport and service benefits, which can significantly improve the overall package.
