Maintenance Technician – Hoxton

We are looking for an Engineer to join us here at The Hoxton, Amsterdam. Reporting to our Maintenance Manager you will be responsible to perform day to day maintenance work in hotel rooms, public areas and back of house areas.

We've just finished a refurb, and our public spaces are looking better than ever. It's a really exciting moment to join the team, with a freshly updated building and plenty of new details to get to know and look after.

More about The Hoxton

Once the Mayor’s home, now our home, The Hoxton, Amsterdam sits pretty on the Herengracht canal. The hotel houses 111 rooms, The Apartment (our meetings & events concept) and our all-day restaurant & bar;
Lotti’s. As a brand, The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch,we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We are keen to be more than that: providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerge themselves in a neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
