GULF SHORES, AL –SH Enterprises, Inc. family of companies including Meyer Vacation Rentals, Meyer Services and Starr Textile Services will host job fairs on Wednesday, Feb. 13 and Thursday Feb. 14 between the hours of 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.

 On Wednesday (Feb.13) the job fair will take place at Meyer Services located at 509 East Section Avenue in the Foley Industrial Park and job seekers will have opportunities to apply for immediate openings at Meyer Services and Starr Textile Services. Meyer Services job openings include Housekeeping Service Coordinators and Journeyman Plumber.

Loretta Ison, Senior Housekeeping Services Manager stated, “We have immediate openings for Housekeeping Service Coordinators and will be hiring as many as nine qualified candidates. These coordinators are very important to the success of our International College Student J1 Program. Coordinators will be responsible for training, mentoring, transporting and assisting these students with housekeeping duties in our vacation rental properties. These students come from several different countries and some are visiting the United States for the first time. These positions can be physically demanding but the benefits of getting to know these international students and their varied cultures are a true reward. Previous supervisory experience is preferred and suitable background and driving records are required.” Applications will also be accepted for housekeepers and quality assurance inspectors. Hiring for these positions will take place in spring 2013.

Chase Lamb, Production Manager for Starr Textile Services in Foley, advises “Starr has several openings on the production floor including Laundry Production Supervisor, Scale Operator and Garment Processor.” Lamb adds “Most people in our area don’t realize that we have a state-of-the-art commercial laundry facility right here in Foley. We have over 65 people currently on payroll and operate seven days a week.”

Starr Textiles Services opened its doors in 2008 and occupies a 30,000-square-foot facility on North Poplar Street in the Foley Industrial Park.

Lamb said; “The Laundry Production Supervisor is responsible for monitoring quality, meeting production deadlines and assigning staff to work stations. We are looking for applicants with previous production supervisory experience.”

The Thursday (Feb. 14) job fair will be at Meyer’s Gulf Shores office at 1585 Gulf Shores Parkway and job seekers will have opportunities to apply for full time positions in Owner Relations and Corporate Accounting.

Michelle Nelson, Chief Operating Officer of Meyer Vacation Rentals said; “We invite applicants to come in and learn more about the employment opportunities we have available. We have immediate openings for Property Directors in Owner Relations. Property Directors act as a liaison between our property owners and Meyer’s internal departments to ensure star treatment in all aspects of vacation rental management. Previous property management or vacation rental management is desired.”

Nelson also noted; “We are ramping up for a great spring and summer season along the Gulf Coast and with the season comes a need for additional staffing at our front desk and reservation call center. We will be accepting applications for seasonal positions within our Guest Relations and Guest Sales department.”

The SH Enterprises Corporate Accounting Department will be accepting applications for a staff accountant. Linda McGonigal, Senior Accounting Manager for SH Enterprises stated; “Qualifications for this position includes a minimum of 3 years general accounting experience including AR, AP, Payroll, GL and month end financials. A bachelor’s degree in accounting is preferred with proficiency in Excel 2007.”

Applications will be available at both locations, however job seekers are encouraged to bring copies of their current resume’. For more information about these job openings, visit the Company’s website at www.MeyerRE.com/about us/career opportunities.
