Assistant Director of Facilities

DSRT SURF isn't a traditional workplace, and we're not looking for traditional people.

We're building a fast growing hospitality and lifestyle brand where surf culture, guest experience, and high performance come together in a unique way. We're looking for people who thrive in energetic environments, take pride in their work, and want to help build something special from the ground up.

This is a fully on-site role in Palm Desert, California.

What You'll Do

The Assistant Director of Facilities supports the Director of Facilities in maintaining, repairing, and improving all physical assets across the property, from the surf lagoon and mechanical systems to guest-facing spaces and back-of-house infrastructure. This role is equal parts hands-on and organizational: you're expected to jump into a repair when needed, and you're expected to run the project calendar that keeps every vendor, contractor, and maintenance initiative on schedule.

• Manage facilities project timelines, from small repair tickets to larger capital improvement projects, ensuring deadlines are met and stakeholders are informed
• Coordinate and track vendor and contractor schedules, scopes of work, and deliverables
• Perform and oversee preventive maintenance across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and pool/lagoon systems
• Get hands-on with repairs and troubleshooting when the situation calls for it, not just delegate
• Maintain facilities documentation, including maintenance logs, warranty records, and inspection schedules
• Partner with the Director of Facilities to prioritize work orders and allocate resources
• Support budget tracking for facilities projects and supply/parts ordering
• Ensure compliance with safety codes, health department standards, and OSHA requirements
• Step in to lead facilities operations in the Director's absence
