Are you ready to advance your career and expand your technical expertise? At the Conservatorium Hotel, we are currently looking for a dedicated Duty Engineer to join our close-knit team. Here, you will find a supportive environment where your contributions are valued, and your growth is a priority.

About the role:
As our Engineer, you will resolve technical failures, replace faulty parts and perform complete technical inspections within the hotel. You will directly help hotel guests, addressing their technical concerns promptly and ensuring their comfort. Additionally, you will troubleshoot plumbing problems, repair kitchen equipment, manage various installations, and maintain lighting systems. You will support ongoing renovation efforts, collaborating with third-party companies for major repairs and conducting preventive maintenance throughout the hotel.

Joining our Engineering department means working in a supportive environment that empowers and appreciates its team members. Professional and personal growth is key, while also ensuring a balance between work and life. The engineering team consists of skilled carpenters, painters and maintenance engineers. As a duty engineer you will work in various 8-hours shifts and report directly to the Engineering Manager.

Our building, over 100 years old, offers exclusive spaces for the engineering team, revealing a fascinating behind-the-scenes world beyond guest rooms and public areas. As a small team, we ensure the hotel maintains its pristine appearance, making it look as luxurious and inviting as the day it opened. Our tasks are diverse—one moment you are working on the pool, the next you are renovating a complete guest room.

To be a successful Duty Engineer candidate, you will have:

• 2-3 years of work experience in a similar role (preferably in hotels);
• Fundamental knowledge of electrical installations and plumbing;
• Ability to work independent and learn on the job;
• A good level of English;
• Flexibility to work shifts during both days and evenings, on weekdays and weekends.

In return, you will receive an array of iconic benefits, such as:

• A salary in scale VI of the Dutch Horeca CAO;
• Excellent career progression with an iconic, luxury, global hotel brand. A lot of our colleagues joined us at the beginning of their career and are now leading their own teams and divisions;
• Fantastic learning and development opportunities for all levels of staff, with targeted development programs to get you ready for the next step in your career;
• Discounted stays at our beautiful properties across the Group;
• Multiple additional benefits, such as supplemented staff meals, uniform/laundry service, ticket raffles and a 50% contribution to your pension fund;
• Travel allowance of €0,21 per kilometer for distances of 5 kilometers or more;
• F&B Discount Card – discounts at restaurants at high-end hotels in Amsterdam;
• Discounted collective health insurance and weekly yoga sessions with our personal trainers;
