WHAT YOU DO

Your day begins with a walk through the property, greeting guests, and scanning for anything that needs attention — from a flickering light to a system that needs fine tuning. You lead and perform routine inspections, preventative maintenance, and repairs across guest rooms, public spaces, and all major building systems, ensuring everything operates at peak performance. When a guest has an issue, you respond quickly, resolve it efficiently, and help restore their stay with professionalism and care.

You collaborate closely with other departments to coordinate repairs, minimize disruptions, and support smooth hotel operations. You maintain detailed records, uphold safety and compliance standards, manage tools and inventory, and contribute to energy-saving initiatives. Whether you’re troubleshooting a complex mechanical issue, mentoring a team member, or assisting with general tasks, you play a vital role in keeping the hotel safe, efficient, and welcoming every single day.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a confident, skilled, and service-driven professional who takes genuine pride in keeping a property running safely, smoothly, and beautifully. Fast-paced environments energize you, and you’re at your best when juggling shifting priorities and solving problems on the fly. You bring a strong technical foundation and advanced knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical operations. You’re the person others rely on when something complex needs to be diagnosed or repaired, yet you remain eager to learn, grow, and guide others.

You communicate clearly, work well with a diverse team, and carry yourself with maturity and confidence. Your attention to detail, proactive mindset, and commitment to excellence make you an essential part of the guest experience.
