Curb Appeal
The facility must be maintained and nurtured just like the people inside! Curb appeal is the visual attractiveness of a building as seen from the street, a/k/a the Silent Salesperson!

Maintenance vs. Repair
Maintenance is the repair and upkeep of the internal and external hotel structure and equipment.
Repairs can be costly, routine maintenance can prevent and delay repairs.

Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning involves extra time and equipment. It is usually done every 3 months in guest rooms and public areas. Housekeeping and Engineering depts. work together to schedule and accomplish deep cleaning tasks.

Who is the crew?
The staff will include a chief engineer, skilled technicians such as plumbers and electricians, and maintenance workers.
Maintenance staff needs to know how to do minor repairs, basic electrical work, basic plumbing, equipment repairs and structural repairs.
![Page 17: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Skills and Abilities
They must be competent with common power tools and safety. Some engineering depts. are responsible for maintenance and repair of motorized vehicles, such a vans and riding lawn mowers.

Hours of Operation
Just like the Front Desk and Housekeeping, Engineering is open and working 24 hours a day!
![Page 19: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How big is the department?
The size of this department is dependant upon the size of the property. A large resort property might several buildings, one or more swimming pools, a golf course, tennis courts, and other facilities. This type of large property usually has a large engineering department.
![Page 20: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Preventive Maintenance
Hotel engineers maintain many parts of the facility by implementing a preventive maintenance program, (pms). A preventive maintenance program is structured so that engineers constantly inspect and monitor various aspects of a hotel to ensure that all items are in working order.
![Page 24: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance
These programs help find small problems before they become bigger and more costly problems. Some manufacturers provide guidelines for proper maintenance of the equipment (similar to routine oil changes in a car every 3000 miles).
![Page 25: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Routine Inspections
Routine inspections of the facilities help identify signs of wear and tear that could result in a breakdown, allow comparison to previous repair records and provide evidence that routine maintenance did occur.
![Page 27: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Purchasing
When new equipment is needed, engineering is responsible for researching, getting bids, and choosing the best equipment for the purpose and price. They
also work with insurance companies when claims
are filed.
![Page 29: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Engineering works very closely with housekeeping in maintaining the quality of the physical guest room.
Housekeepers are required to report
problems with a guest room to engineering for repair.
![Page 30: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Front desk staff is responsible for reporting problems in the public area and lobby.
The banquet/event staff is responsible for reporting problem areas in the banquet and event rooms.
![Page 31: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Director of Engineering
The Director of Engineering (DOE) position requires a four-year university degree along with work experience in managing costs, staff and departmental operations. Many people begin their facilities management career as entry-level employees while in school.
![Page 32: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EOD
Engineer on Duty (EOD) is the crew member assigned that day to a particular task. EODs are assigned different tasks, such as pool maintenance or repair, painting walls, etc.
![Page 33: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example Situation
A room attendant reports a leaky shower faucet in room #2345 to Engineering. The DOE creates a work order and schedules a EOD to repair the faucet. Once repaired, the DOE inspects the work of the EOD and reports to Housekeeping and Front Desk the faucet has been repaired and the room is ready for resale
![Page 34: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Profit Loss
When a guest room is not available due to maintenance or repair needed, profit is lost. Therefore the DOE must have a system in place for fast, efficient repair and maintenance.
![Page 35: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
OHSA Materials
![Page 36: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
OHSA
Occupational Health and Safety Administration is a Federal govt. agency that ensures worker safety. Published materials must be displayed for access by all employees, posters describing worker safety must be displayed, etc.
![Page 37: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Emergency Preparedness Plan
This department is responsible for the hotel’s emergency planning process and implementation. The goal of emergency planning is to ensure guest and employee safety, security, and comfort during a wide variety of emergency situations.
![Page 38: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Shelter in Place??
In certain emergencies such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, power outage, or toxic chemical spill or terrorism guests and employees may need to Shelter in Place
or be evacuated to a safer location.
![Page 39: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Backup Plans
During emergency situations it is possible to lose power or communication abilities. So properties must have backup generators for power, fuel supplies and an emergency communication system.
![Page 40: Engineering Department Hotel Management Hospitality Services.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649e565503460f94b4e866/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
These three (power, fuel supplies and the emergency communication system) need to be routinely inspected to ensure they are ready to be used at any time.

Joke
A guest comment card entry concerning the hotel’s condition stated: “the manager promised that I wouldn’t find a single flea in my bed. He was right; they were all married with families!”
