Who We’re Looking For:

ENGINEER TRAINEE (ENGINEER I) FOR STAYPINEAPPLE CHICAGO

Handy doesn’t even begin to describe you. We’re looking for the ultimate Jack (or Jill)-of-All-Trades. Our Engineer Trainees are responsible for maintaining and repairing all hotel equipment from kitchen, laundry and plumbing to HVAC, electrical and guest rooms, under the direction of a senior engineer, all with minimum downtime. Easy, right?

What You Bring:

Hope you can keep a lot of balls in the air because you’re going to be juggling a million tasks both inside and outside of the hotel. This job requires razor-sharp attention to detail and an unwavering ability to focus. Think you have what it takes? Here’s a snapshot of a typical day:

1. Making repairs to electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment as needed, with minimum down time.

2. Installing and replacing light fixtures and bulbs.

3. Conducting scheduled inspections as well as checking and repairing equipment malfunctions.

4. Securing the building as needed including monitoring, activating and resetting automatic security systems, repairing broken locks and maintaining keys to the building.

Where You’ve Been:

We’re looking for someone with a High School diploma or equivalent, plus a minimum of one year’s trade-related and/or training in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry and building maintenance. Working knowledge of basic hand and power tools doesn’t hurt either.

• Excellent pay & benefits (including medical/dental/vision insurance, 14 days of PTO, life insurance and pet insurance)
