The Director of Engineering is responsible for the resort’s buildings, utilities, plant equipment, preventive maintenance, energy management, and engineering projects. Candidates should have a relevant engineering qualification, substantial experience in hotel or resort engineering, and strong knowledge of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire-safety, and environmental systems.

The successful candidate will lead and develop the engineering team, maintain reliable guest and colleague facilities, respond effectively to breakdowns, control operating costs, support sustainability goals, and ensure all work meets Marriott standards and Indonesian regulations.

The Westin Nirup Island Resort & Spa is a luxury resort development on Nirup Island, near Batam in Indonesia’s Riau Islands. It operates under The Westin brand, part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies. Westin hotels focus on wellbeing, offering comfortable accommodation, restorative experiences, fitness facilities, spa services, healthy dining, and attentive service. As an island resort, the property requires dependable engineering, marine-influenced infrastructure, careful resource management, and strong environmental awareness. Marriott provides structured operating standards, professional development opportunities, and access to a global hospitality network. The resort is designed to serve leisure travelers, couples, families, and groups seeking a peaceful destination close to Singapore and Batam. Working there may suit hospitality professionals who enjoy a more remote environment and the operational variety of a newly developed or expanding resort.
Nirup Island is a small resort island in Indonesia’s Riau Islands, close to Batam and Singapore. Employment opportunities are concentrated in hospitality, engineering, maintenance, food and beverage, housekeeping, recreation, marine activities, and resort administration. The lifestyle is quieter and more community-oriented than a major city, with beaches, tropical weather, boat travel, and limited shopping or nightlife on the island itself. Batam provides broader access to hospitals, banks, supermarkets, schools, and transport connections. Indonesian is the main language, while English is commonly used in international resorts. Foreign employees normally require employer sponsorship and an appropriate Indonesian work permit and stay permit; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers may provide accommodation, meals, transport, insurance, and relocation assistance, but these should be confirmed in writing. Candidates should prepare for humidity, ferry transfers, monsoon conditions, and the practical challenges of living on a remote island.
