The Engineer/Senior Engineer is responsible for maintaining hotel facilities, equipment, and building systems at Shangri-La Singapore. Duties typically include preventive maintenance, troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, plumbing, air-conditioning, and other engineering systems, responding to breakdowns, and ensuring guest and colleague safety. Candidates should have relevant technical qualifications, practical hotel or commercial-building engineering experience, and knowledge of building services. Senior applicants are expected to work independently, guide junior team members, coordinate contractors, maintain accurate records, and support energy-saving and compliance initiatives. A service-minded attitude, teamwork, reliability, willingness to work shifts, and the ability to respond calmly to urgent maintenance issues are important.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and known for its Asian heritage, warm service, and high standards.

Shangri-La Singapore is a major luxury hotel set on Orange Grove Road near Orchard Road, offering guest rooms, restaurants, event facilities, landscaped grounds, and extensive leisure amenities. Engineering teams play an important role in keeping the property safe, comfortable, efficient, and visually well maintained.

Benefits and career development may include staff meals, uniform provision, training, hotel discounts, and opportunities to progress within the wider Shangri-La network, subject to the employment package.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in hospitality, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, and construction. Hotels regularly recruit technicians, supervisors, and facilities specialists, although competition is strong and employers usually prefer recognised qualifications and relevant experience. The culture is multicultural, orderly, safety-conscious, and generally respectful of punctuality and professional standards. Public transport is excellent, while housing, dining, and everyday services are convenient but relatively expensive. Most expatriate employees need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or Work Permit; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, experience, and current government criteria. Employers normally handle the application. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, transport, insurance, and daily expenses, and should verify accommodation and contract details before relocating. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and practical footwear are useful.
