Job Description & How to Apply Below

The Engineer reports to the Chief Operating Engineer, and like all qualified engineers, possesses the diverse knowledge of electrical, plumbing, steam, gas, fire & safety, and HVAC refrigeration. As a working engineer, this position is required to be hands‑on and dive into the day‑to‑day operation, service and repairs of hotel equipment, so if you prefer to “see the forest” and not willing to “plant the trees”, this is not a role for you.

The role will also actively develop trusting and transparent relations with fellow associates of the hotel. As an employee within Aparium Hotel Group this position will work with a phenomenal group of peers who insist that you are collaborative, humble, experienced, and open‑minded – no egos are allowed.

  • Participate in preventative maintenance programs to ensure the long‑term health of the property.
