QT Melbourne is a 5-star, 188-room design hotel in the heart of the city's theatre district on Russell Street, home to some of Melbourne's most distinctive dining and bar experiences including Pascale Bar & Grill, Yamagen, Bar 133 and the iconic Rooftop at QT. Behind every exceptional guest experience is a property that works flawlessly and that's where you come in. We're looking for a Chief Engineer to lead the hotel's engineering and facilities function, ensuring every building system, piece of plant and piece of infrastructure operates safely, efficiently and reliably day in and day out. This is a permanent, full-time role reporting directly to the Hotel General Manager.
