Job description

Overview

This stunning four-star hotel is centrally located within Hull, on Ferensway, minutes from the train station and St Stephens Shopping Centre. The hotel is opposite the Hull Truck Theatre and is a short stroll to the bustling downtown and marina area. This contemporary-style hotel offers a stylish stay for corporate guests and also accommodates leisure guests and family stays with its spacious and relaxing environment.

The hotel boasts 165 bedrooms and a 1,000sqm ballroom for events and conferences. There is a Marco Pierre White Steakhouse and Grill offering hearty meals and a pleasurable atmosphere. Guests will enjoy relaxing with food and drinks in our lounge bar or may choose to visit our rooftop bar The Lexington for panoramic views of Hull and a handmade cocktail on the terrace.

What We\'re Looking For

We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Maintenance Lead to join our team. In this full-time role, you will support the Property Manager in overseeing the property, assets, team, and overall hotel maintenance, ensuring a safe, compliant, and well-maintained environment for both our team members and guests.

As a key part of the business, reporting directly to the Property Manager and collaborating with the General Manager, you will take ownership of maintaining high standards, driving performance, and supporting your team to meet operational goals.

You will support the Property Manager with managing the team’s performance, compliance, and task completion, making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

• Use and maintain the hotel’s online Compliance tool (Compliance Centre) and the maintenance reporting system (Quore).
• Ensure compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, supporting with internal and external audits.
• Manage contractor visits, ensuring projects align with H&S standards.
• Review daily asset checks, including bedroom inspections, and deliver training to the hotel team on related topics.
• Review and maintenance for kitchen asset equipment and hotel’s structure services & FF&E.

What You\'ll Get In Return

• Exclusive Team Member discounted stays and 50% off F&B across the Leaf Hospitality portfolio & Hilton Worldwide portfolio
• Continuous learning & development opportunities
