Salary Range: $60,000.00 To $65,000.00 Annually
Four Points Hotel By Sheraton Halifax
Position Summary  The Maintenance Manager is a hands-on working manager responsible for the day-to-day maintenance, repair, preventative maintenance, safety, and overall physical condition of the hotel.
This is not a desk-based facilities role. The Maintenance Manager is expected to work directly alongside the maintenance team, personally complete repairs, troubleshoot issues, and support the operation wherever required.
The role is responsible for ensuring guest rooms, public areas, back-of-house areas, mechanical systems, and hotel equipment are maintained to a high standard. A major focus will be building a strong preventative maintenance culture, reducing repeat deficiencies, developing the technical skills of the maintenance team, and minimizing unnecessary reliance on outside contractors.
The Maintenance Manager will work closely with hotel leadership and all operating departments to ensure maintenance concerns are addressed quickly, professionally, and with strong follow-through.
