About the job Technical Asset Manager

We are supporting a hospitality investment and asset management group in Oman with the appointment of a Technical Asset Manager.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technical hospitality professional to join an owner-side asset management function and support the maintenance, condition, technical performance, and long-term value of a hotel portfolio.

The Technical Asset Manager will be responsible for planning, monitoring, and controlling maintenance, facilities operations, and technical asset management activities across operating hotel assets and shareholder properties.

The role will work closely with hotel operators, General Managers, engineering teams, consultants, contractors, service providers, specialist vendors, and internal stakeholders to ensure that hotel assets are well maintained, compliant, cost-controlled, and aligned with ownership objectives.

This is a portfolio-level technical asset management role. The successful candidate will support CAPEX planning, Property Improvement Plans, asset condition reviews, lifecycle maintenance planning, contractor performance, technical reporting, and operational readiness across existing assets, renovations, handovers, and hotel pre-opening or transition phases.

Key Responsibilities

• Review maintenance OPEX, CAPEX, renovation, and improvement budgets to ensure costs are realistic, controlled, and aligned with asset requirements.
• Track CAPEX, renovation, upgrade, and improvement works against approved budgets, timelines, scope, and quality standards.
• Work with hotel General Managers, operators, engineering teams, consultants, and contractors on maintenance projects, corrective works, renovations, and asset improvements.
• Ensure technical, safety, brand, operator, and asset condition standards are maintained during hotel operations, renovations, handovers, and pre-opening phases.
• Monitor contractor, consultant, vendor, and service provider performance against agreed scope, SLAs, safety requirements, quality standards, timelines, and cost controls.
• Monitor maintenance costs and technical performance to identify cost drivers, efficiency opportunities, service gaps, and required corrective actions.
• Ensure compliance with local regulations, HSE standards, statutory requirements, and internal policies across maintenance, technical, project, and facilities-related activities.
• Prepare regular technical asset reports covering property condition, maintenance risks, CAPEX progress, contractor performance, compliance matters, and recommended action plans.
• Support hotel pre-opening, handover, and transition activities by coordinating with development teams, operators, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure technical readiness and smooth transition into operations.

Required Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, preferably Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Facilities Management, or another relevant technical discipline.
• 6–10 years of relevant experience in hotel engineering, technical asset management, facilities management, maintenance planning, project coordination, or owner-side asset operations.
• Proven exposure to hotel operations, multi-asset portfolios, CAPEX planning, Property Improvement Plans, contractor management, and asset condition reviews.
• Strong technical understanding of hotel engineering, building systems, maintenance standards, asset condition assessment, and lifecycle planning.
• Experience reviewing and monitoring OPEX, CAPEX, renovation, upgrade, and property improvement works.
• Strong understanding of HSE standards, statutory compliance, technical standards, and contractor management requirements.
• Strong project and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with hotel operators, General Managers, engineering teams, consultants, contractors, vendors, and internal teams.
• Hands-on and execution-oriented approach, with strong cost awareness, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple hotel assets, urgent maintenance matters, and CAPEX works.
• Professional certifications such as PMP, CFM, FMP, hospitality engineering, asset management, or equivalent would be an advantage.
