Job description

"I believe successful people are the ones who take the initiative to learn, unlearn and relearn. It’s important to constantly challenge your knowledge and step out of your comfort zone."

This internship is designed for students or trainees who are eager to learn about hotel maintenance operations, technical asset management, and preventive maintenance systems within a luxury hospitality environment.

At Hyatt, our purpose is “Care for People so They Can Be Their Best.” Throughout your internship, you will receive guidance, training, and exposure to both the administrative backbone and operational realities of a world‑class maintenance department.
