Description

We want you to look after this hotel as if it were your home. You'll make sure broken things get fixed, and more importantly, you'll create a detailed program to ensure they don’t break in the first place. From the little everyday details – maintenance of our guestrooms, public space, and the back‑of‑house – to the big capital plans that help our hotels maintain their fresh appeal, you’ll schedule, direct, and follow up to ensure each project reaches completion.

You’ll make sure we have the right tools and equipment and keep them organized, and that chemicals and hazardous materials are used and stored properly. You’ll make sure work is performed safely and efficiently.
