• Conduct safety inspections and contribute to a strong safety culture
• Support emergency maintenance requirements and critical building incidents when required
• Work collaboratively with Front Office, Housekeeping and other departments to ensure an exceptional guest experience

• Experience leading or supervising a small team
• Strong practical maintenance and troubleshooting skills

Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

We are an inclusive company, and our ambition is to attract, recruit and promote diverse talent.

The real MVPs of our hotels are the people behind the scenes – keeping our beds fresh, linen stocked, cushions fluffed and all‑round cleanliness. As Housekeeping Supervisor at Vibe Hotel Melbourne you’ll seamlessly keep our guestrooms shimmering and our housekeeping team humming. Delegating and leading by example, you’re the expert when it comes to taking care of business (and your team!), with a smile. There’s nothing you can’t turn your hand to, ensuring smooth passage of daily housekeeping. No surface goes unturned when you’re on shift – you coordinate the team to attend to guest rooms and conduct all general cleaning, allocating duties as required, ensuring utmost efficiency and alignment to policy and procedure. You move fast, think faster and rarely break a sweat under pressure, whether providing professional customer service, supporting your team or multitasking. You’re athletic, good‑humoured, but no‑nonsense… in a refreshingly down‑to‑earth way. So are we. It’s why we want you on our team at TFE Hotels. We’re going places and we value people who wake up with a positive mindset, roll up their sleeves and make the most of whatever comes your way. We want you to help run the show and in return, we promise TFE will be yours to make.
