The Assistant Chief Engineer supports the Chief Engineer in managing hotel engineering, maintenance and building services. Requirements typically include a diploma or degree in electrical, mechanical or building services engineering, relevant experience in hotel or commercial-property maintenance, and knowledge of HVAC, electrical systems, plumbing, fire protection and safety regulations. The candidate is expected to lead technicians, coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance, respond to breakdowns, manage contractors, control costs and maintain accurate records. Strong communication, problem-solving, leadership and organisational skills are essential. The role also requires flexibility for shifts, emergencies and occasional work outside normal hours while maintaining Shangri-La’s service and safety standards.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Singapore and recognised for Asian-inspired service, thoughtful guest experiences and high operating standards. The group manages hotels, resorts and related hospitality businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. Its properties commonly include accommodation, restaurants, conference facilities, spas and extensive engineering and support operations. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on genuine hospitality, colleague development, responsible business practices and attention to detail. Working for the company generally involves a multicultural environment, structured hotel procedures and close cooperation between operational departments. In Singapore, the group is associated with Shangri-La Singapore, a large luxury hotel near Orchard Road, offering exposure to complex building systems, high-volume guest operations and premium-service expectations.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with strong opportunities in hospitality, engineering, facilities management, finance, technology, healthcare and logistics. The culture is multicultural, English is widely used, and daily life is safe, efficient and convenient, with excellent public transport, shopping and diverse food. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so many workers choose accommodation farther from the city centre. The climate is hot, humid and rainy throughout the year. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit, depending on qualifications, salary and occupation; the employer submits the application to Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower. Candidates should confirm eligibility, medical or documentation requirements and dependent-pass options before relocating. A written employment contract should clarify salary, accommodation, insurance, leave, working hours and relocation support.
