Job description

Company Description

We’re looking for a fix‑it‑all, detail‑loving, solution‑finding Shift Engineer to keep The Hoxton, Edinburgh running like clockwork. Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be responsible for repairs and resolving maintenance issues within the property.

We’ve opened our doors in Edinburgh’s charming West End — our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we’re home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all‑day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro‑inspired cinema, a flexible and super‑size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment – our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings.

More About Us

The Hoxton is a series of open‑house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t have to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and immerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

Job Description

What’s in it for you…

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Competitive salary.
• 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get‑togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Join an innovative, fast‑growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

What You’ll Do…

• Fault repair, maintenance of equipment, plumbing, furniture, and lighting.
• Perform general tasks such as connecting equipment, lighting, installing locks and hinges, etc.
• Conduct periodic maintenance.
• Carry out installation work.
• Accurate control of the work and your own workspace and equipment.

What We’re Looking For…

• Individuals who value authenticity: no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• Someone who is all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• Someone who is not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• Someone who is up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• Someone who can laugh off a stuck lift situation and enjoy a good time.
• Someone who wants to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• Building maintenance experience.
• Solid understanding of health & safety regulations and practices.
• Someone who is all about the details!
