Engineer in a Hotel.

The electrical system will likely furnish you many fewer problems than will the sewage system. Your background might be better suited to designing a hotel rather than to operating it.

It's probably like a building maintenance manager / project manager rolled into one.

You could actually learn a lot if you ask a lot of questions and listen to service techs and the like. Don't talk much and they'll assume you understand. Don't try to show off or lie to them or they'll screw you over and hate you forever. If they like you they'll make you look good because they know you get the blame or the credit.

Why would you apply for a job when you have no idea what the job entails?

Maybe the Force can help you, we can't, masteryoda?

Good luck, you'll need it.

the website just said "engineering team",no more details were there.it's the career website of the four seasons.

Hi Masteryoda

I have a friend running a medium sized Hotel, He has a permanent electric technician on his staff to fix all the electricity and electronic (telecommunication) problems. There seem to be enough work to keep him occupied. (guest is a problem in any environment)

He also keep a multi discipline engineering firm on retainer to design and implement "electrical" changes (any item that uses electricity is considered electrical).

You should therefore ask them specific questions about electric related requirements such as :- Electronics == PA , Telecommunication , computer , IT , security , CCTV , emergency power , Irrigation etc etc etc

Finally , Never drink and engineer.

Best answer,thanks.

Head of maintenance is what you are applying for, I hope not. Let the man in that position give you a rundown on what is needed most, then and there and it was supposed to be done yesterday. All of the time and at all hours. The more you have jacked in all trades the better. Just changing a light bulb will not do it.

What ever you do don't go near the kitchen and start repairing this or that without the permission of the Chef. That could be more deadly than a gas blast and for sure the end of your job.

Good luck, Ky.

Mate, it is just not believable what they come up with. Working on an unbalanced exhaust (the ones that suck up legs of lamb when at full blast) and not be finished in time. It wasn't a battle it was slaughter. They could have done it over night but had some better things to do.

The OP better not make a wrong move but his boss will let him know, like I said, he'll have the scars to prove it.
