• Maintain accurate maintenance records, compliance documentation, service reports and certification.
• Monitor maintenance stock levels and manage the ordering of tools, equipment, parts and supplies.
• Support the management of maintenance budgets and identify opportunities to control costs and improve efficiency.
• Work closely with all hotel departments to minimise disruption to guests and hotel operations.
• Identify recurring maintenance issues and implement effective long-term solutions.
• Respond appropriately to emergency maintenance situations and building-related incidents.
• Ensure the overall physical condition and presentation of the hotel consistently meets Marriott Brand standards.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure full compliance with company health & safety, fire safety and security procedures.
• Maintain all required statutory inspections, servicing records and maintenance documentation.
• Ensure contractors follow hotel safety procedures and appropriate risk assessments and method statements are in place.
• Report and address hazards, defects and unsafe conditions promptly.
• Ensure the maintenance team completes all required safety training and certifications.
• Support hotel audits and ensure maintenance-related actions are completed within required deadlines.
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organisation and safety within plant rooms, workshops and maintenance areas.
• Keep up to date with relevant legislation and best practices relating to hotel maintenance and building safety.

About You

• Previous experience in a Maintenance Manager, Engineering Manager, Chief Engineer or similar facilities leadership role, ideally within a hotel or hospitality environment.
• Strong practical knowledge of general building maintenance, including plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, carpentry and painting.
• Good understanding of planned preventative maintenance and statutory compliance.
• Strong knowledge of health & safety and fire safety requirements.
• Confident managing contractors, suppliers and maintenance projects.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage, motivate and develop a team.
