Baccarat has been synonymous with craftsmanship, artistry and timeless elegance for more than 260 years. As Baccarat prepares to unveil its first hotel in Europe, we are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead one of the most anticipated luxury hotel openings in Rome.
This is a rare opportunity to be part of a landmark pre-opening from the very beginning—bringing an iconic property to life before leading its ongoing engineering operation as it welcomes guests from around the world.

During pre-opening, you will assist to establish the engineering department from the ground up—developing systems, recruiting and mentoring your team, commissioning building services, managing defects and contractor relationships, implementing preventative maintenance programmes and ensuring every aspect of the hotel is ready for opening day.

accountability, craftsmanship and continuous improvement throughout the department.
