Qualifications & Experience

Hotel Maintenance Engineer

Technical Services Department | LEGOLAND New York Resort

Are you a "Master Builder" of solutions? At LEGOLAND New York Resort, we don’t just maintain buildings; we maintain the magic. As a Hotel Maintenance Engineer, you are the behind-the-scenes hero ensuring our guests have a seamless, safe, and unforgettable stay. If you enjoy a "hands-on" environment where no two days are the same, we want you on our team!

The Mission

Working under the Facilities Assistant Manager, you will be a key player in the upkeep of our resort. From repairing electromechanical systems to perfecting the finish on a guest room, your work directly impacts the guest experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • General Artistry & Repair: Tackle everything from drywall and painting to tile, flooring, and trim carpentry.

  • System Upkeep: Perform preventative maintenance on all facility systems to keep the hotel running smoothly 24/7/365.

  • Technical Troubleshooting: Use your knowledge of plumbing, lighting, and electromechanical systems to solve complex challenges with precision.

  • Safety First: Ensure every repair meets high-standard safety codes (ASTM, NEC, OSHA) to keep our guests and "Model Citizens" (staff) safe.

Who You Are

  • Experienced: You have at least 2 years of facilities maintenance and repair experience.

  • Skilled: You are comfortable with power tools, measuring devices, and perhaps even reading blueprints or schematics.

  • Composed: You stay calm and rational under pressure or in emergency situations.

  • Guest-Focused: You have a friendly, polite demeanor and a genuine love for creating FUN!

  • Qualified: You hold a high school diploma (or equivalent) and are at least 18 years old.

Physical Requirements & Working Environment

This is an active, dynamic role that keeps you moving!

  • Physical Agility: You’ll frequently be walking, standing, or bending.

  • Strength: Ability to lift and carry tools or materials ranging from 10 lbs up to 100 lbs (occasionally).

  • Versatility: Comfortable working in various temperatures (from <15°F to >95°F) and occasionally in cramped spaces.

  • Dexterity: Ability to perform tasks requiring fine motor skills and firm grasping.

Why Join Merlin Entertainments?

You’ll be part of a global leader in location-based family entertainment. We value safety, security, and a positive team culture where your hard work is recognized and your "love for FUN" is encouraged.

What was changed to increase engagement?

  • The "Hook": Used "Master Builder" language to align with the LEGO brand identity.

  • Action-Oriented Titles: Changed "Key Objectives" to "The Mission" and "Skills" to "Who You Are" to make the candidate feel like the protagonist.

  • Formatting: Used bolding and bullet points to ensure the JD is scannable for mobile users.

  • Brand Connection: Explicitly mentioned the unique nature of working at a resort, which is a major selling point compared to standard apartment or office maintenance roles.
