Ensure compliance with health & safety procedures, fire regulations, and safe working practices at all times. Maintain maintenance records, logs, tools, and equipment to ensure accurate tracking and operational readiness. Work collaboratively with colleagues, contractors, and external suppliers to support the effective operation of the hotel. Naturally this is not intended as an exhaustive list of duties. Other duties as may be reasonably required will form part of this job description. THE FIRE YOU CARRY Passion for hospitality and delivering memorable guest experiences Positive, energetic, and adaptable personality Strong communication skills and confidence in guest interaction Ability to multi-task and remain calm under pressure Willingness to learn across multiple operational areas YOUR PROVEN TRACK Previous experience in a maintenance or facilities role Understanding of health & safety procedures in a workplace setting Experience in a hotel, resort, or large property Proficiency in electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
