The Executive Assistant serves as a trusted partner to the Chief People Officer (CPO), supporting the CPO’s broader portfolio across People, Global Security, Site Operations, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The role manages complex priorities across time zones and senior stakeholders with sound judgment, discretion, and executive presence. In this high-visibility role within a fast-paced global organization, the ideal candidate brings high integrity, anticipates needs, protects the CPO’s time, brings structure to a changing environment, and represents the CPO and the People function with the highest level of professionalism.
The Team

The team operates with urgency, accountability, and collaboration, and values professionalism, responsiveness, sound judgment, and a solution-oriented mindset.
The Impact
The Executive Assistant is essential to the day-to-day effectiveness of the Chief People Officer. By optimizing the CPO’s time, ensuring readiness for critical meetings and decisions, managing confidential information, and coordinating with senior leaders across the enterprise, this role enables the CPO to focus on strategic priorities. The Executive Assistant sets a high bar and role-models our core values of Discovery, Partnership, and Integrity in every interaction with internal and external stakeholders.

- Coordinate the CPO’s domestic and international travel, including working with local offices, managing last-minute changes, detailed itineraries, visa applications, and timely monthly expense reconciliation. The role itself requires minimal travel.
- Coordinate the CPO’s participation in ELT and Board-related meetings, owning scheduling and logistics, and partner with the Chief of Staff and relevant leaders on briefing materials and follow-up.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in assistant chief engineer jobs.
- Five or more years of experience in mechanical, marine, or building systems engineering
- Demonstrated supervisory or crew leadership experience in an engineering department
- Relevant licensure such as a USCG merchant mariner credential, boiler operator license, or state-issued engineer license
- Proficiency with preventive maintenance software and computerized maintenance management systems
- Working knowledge of HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing, and life safety systems
- Strong understanding of OSHA, EPA, or flag-state regulatory compliance requirements
Tips for Your Assistant Chief Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the systems
Hiring managers for assistant chief engineer roles scan for specific mechanical, electrical, or HVAC systems you've maintained or supervised. Name the exact equipment, software platforms, and plant capacities you've worked with rather than listing generic maintenance duties.
Highlight your supervisory scope clearly
Many assistant chief engineer postings require demonstrated team leadership. Quantify the size of the crew you've directed and the shift coverage you've managed, since employers need to know you can step in for the chief with minimal ramp-up time.
Lead with your certifications upfront
Credentials like USCG Merchant Mariner, boiler operator licenses, HVAC certifications, or FMO endorsements are hard filters in many job postings. List yours in a dedicated section near the top of your resume so recruiters don't miss them on a quick scan.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists assistant chief engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare technical scenarios for interviews
Expect competency questions around emergency response, preventive maintenance schedules, and regulatory compliance. Walk in with two or three specific stories about system failures you diagnosed and resolved under pressure, with clear before-and-after outcomes.
Negotiate using total compensation context
Assistant chief engineer offers often include housing, meals, or at-sea allowances that differ significantly across hospitality and maritime employers. Ask HR to itemize every component of the package so you're comparing full compensation, not base figures alone.
Assistant Chief Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most assistant chief engineers?
The most active employers for assistant chief engineers right now are JLL, CBRE, and PAM Health, and the most openings are in California, Florida, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The highest concentrations tend to cluster around large hotel groups, cruise lines, and commercial real estate operators.
How many assistant chief engineer jobs are remote?
About 38% of assistant chief engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most roles. The sub-areas most compatible with remote or hybrid arrangements include technical writing, maintenance planning, and engineering management roles that don't require daily on-site equipment oversight.
How do you become an assistant chief engineer?
Start by earning a degree or vocational qualification in mechanical, electrical, or marine engineering, then accumulate hands-on experience maintaining complex building or vessel systems. Progress through journeyman or engineering technician roles to build familiarity with the specific systems your target sector uses, obtain any required state or federal licenses, and take on shift lead or supervisory responsibilities to demonstrate readiness for a deputy chief position.
Can you get hired as an assistant chief engineer with limited experience?
Some employers will hire candidates with a strong technical foundation but limited years of experience if they hold the required certifications and can demonstrate hands-on troubleshooting ability. Targeting smaller properties or vessels where the engineering department is leaner gives you earlier exposure to the full scope of the role, which accelerates your path to meeting the experience benchmarks larger employers require.
What does the assistant chief engineer interview process look like?
Most employers run a screening call focused on your license status and system familiarity, followed by a technical interview where you walk through past maintenance challenges and emergency response decisions. A final round with a department head or chief engineer often includes scenario-based questions about managing a system failure mid-shift and assessing how you'd communicate with operations leadership under pressure.
Where can I find and apply to assistant chief engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to assistant chief engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your systems background and seniority level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
