A beachfront resort set to debut in Encinitas in early 2021 is starting off the new year by building the team that’ll keep the hotel running, hiring for a variety of jobs.
Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas – located at 2100 N. Coast Hwy 101 – will host a career fair on Jan. 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the hotel’s Oceana Ballroom. Free parking is available in the hotel’s garage.
According to the resort, interested applicants should first apply online here. Selected candidates will then be called to set up an appointment to attend the career fair on Jan. 7. Only those with appointments can attend the event.
The resort said the event will maintain all COVID-19 safety protocols including minimizing the number of people in the ballroom at one time. Everyone will have to wear face masks and practice proper social distancing.
The 130-room resort is hoping to open in early 2021 – if local pandemic-related restrictions allow for that – and, so, the hotel is seeking to fill full-time and part-time positions spanning the front and heart of the house, the on-site spa, and its on-site dining, which includes VAGA, a new restaurant from celebrated local “Top Chef” alumna Claudette Zepeda.
Zepeda recently joined our Scene in San Diego podcast to talk about her new project at the beachfront resort. She called VAGA her “love letter to San Diego.” You can read all about the restaurant here or listen to the podcast episode below.
