Job Opportunity in NYC: Maintenance Engineer at Morgan Library & Museum

Gorgeous...Great place to work!  Mad Dog  🐕 

Here is a sincere question...why does the job title have engineer in it?

I ask for this reason. Our HR department recently hired a consultant to review our roles. Our department is " Maintenance & Engineering" but we dont have any engineers on staff. We figure things out ourselves and make it happen. The consultant took issue with the engineering in the title.

The consultant said we are over paid for "facility techs". We do menial work, occasionally, and that is what everyone sees. But, we also work on high pressure steam, chillers, electricity, and make modiications as necessary. We were able to reverse their thought process but geez! They were ready to take food right out of our mouths! I know friends in NYC with high school educations who do the exact same thing and are called engineers but how? Without getting an engineering degree? And does the title yield more pay?

Well, my friends are union men. I didnt think of that.

I may have a very good man. I'm telling him  to submit his resume.  United States 🇺🇸 Marine Corp Veteran  to boot!  Mad Dog 🐕 

I have visited the Morgan library a few times since the 1990's and I can say that I would NOT want that job for less than at least 6 figures!

Each room is massive! Wide, long and with very high ceilings in most areas. Even the smallest room is probably two to three times larger than the biggest room in your own home! LOL

Radiators are large to extremely large, some are behind very fancy, ornate wood and/or brass or cast iron coverings, so I can just imagine what the heating and electrical systems look like that feed it all and if they are anything like the rest of the place, they are probably all gigantic antiques.

Not to mention the loads of tourists it gets that you'd probably have to put up with, or most of your work would need to be done off-hours.

I have been there at least 6 times and never saw any room empty of tourists!

The food court area is nice, but very pricey.

One room is made up of dozens and dozens of species of marble and I was once told by an employee that it boasts more species of marble in that one room than any building on Earth! It has species of marble that royal homes and castles don't have!

I'm not sure if they still have it running, but in the dining room/board room they had a large TV monitor that shows the history of J.P. Morgan and of the original house and how it became so huge and connected to all the other "Houses" and "Buildings, of which, one "House" that is connected on the south east end was his sisters home and one was one of his adult children's homes and are now all part of the library and museum.

There are many very famous first edition books and original personal and business letters and papers in the library that were written by J.P. himself and also many of the "Founding Fathers" and many other historically important business and political people.

If you ever get to NYC it IS worth a visit, but I wouldn't want to work there as a maint. guy, although there were a few very beautiful ladies working there every time I visited, so it might be worth it to you younger guy's who are still looking for a date/wife! LOL
