What We're Looking For

You don't need to be a licensed tradesperson. We're looking for someone who is dependable, capable, observant and willing to learn.

You should be comfortable:

• Working independently from a prioritized task list
• Using basic hand and power tools
• Tackling a wide variety of physical projects
• Figuring out how to complete straightforward repairs and maintenance tasks
• Asking questions when something is outside your knowledge or skill level
• Moving between EHG restaurant locations as needed

Previous experience in maintenance, construction, property care, restaurants or a similar hands-on environment is helpful, but aptitude, reliability and initiative matter just as much to us.
