Facilities Supervisor in Palm Desert, California at DSRT Surf

DSRT SURF isn’t a traditional workplace, and we’re not looking for a traditional Facilities Supervisor.

We’re building a fast growing hospitality and lifestyle brand where surf culture, guest experience, and operations all come together in a unique environment. We need someone who is hands on, dependable, solutions focused, and comfortable working in a fast paced operational setting.

The Facilities Supervisor supports the Director of Facilities in maintaining daily site operations across mechanical systems, aquatics, grounds, and infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for team coordination, operational execution, troubleshooting, and maintaining high standards across the property.

This is not a desk job. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable leading a team while also jumping in and getting hands on when needed.

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

You’ll help oversee the daily operation, maintenance, and functionality of the DSRT SURF property and facilities.

Responsibilities include:

• Support the Director of Facilities with daily maintenance and operational oversight across the property

• Help troubleshoot equipment and facility issues including pumps, filters, lagoon systems, irrigation, and related infrastructure
• Support preventive maintenance programs to reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency
• Lead and coordinate maintenance technicians during daily operations
• Help maintain high cleanliness, safety, and operational standards across guest facing and back of house areas
• Assist with lagoon and pool operations including inspections, water quality monitoring, chemical balancing, and identifying maintenance concerns
• Support inventory management for maintenance supplies, tools, and operational materials
• Help identify operational improvements and efficiencies across facilities and maintenance operations
• Maintain organized maintenance logs, records, and documentation
• Support vendor coordination and outside contractors as needed

• Leadership or team coordination experience is a plus
• Strong problem solving and troubleshooting abilities
• Ability to work safely and efficiently in a fast paced operational environment
• Comfortable using tools, maintenance equipment, and basic computer systems
• Strong communication, organization, and follow through
• OSHA, maintenance, safety, pool, aquatics, or water quality certifications are a plus
• High school diploma or trade school experience preferred but not required

Who You Are

You’re curious, positive, and excited to help build something unique from the ground up. You enjoy solving problems, working with your hands, and being part of a team that keeps operations running smoothly behind the scenes.

You take ownership, follow through, and stay calm under pressure. You’re dependable, adaptable, and willing to jump in wherever needed to support the team and overall operation.

We are not looking for a perfect resume, decades of experience, or every certification. What matters most is attitude, work ethic, accountability, and a willingness to learn and grow with the team.
