Job description

MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN - LOCKE LONDON ALDGATE

We’re looking for a reliable and skilled Maintenance Technician to join our hotel team and help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

In this hands‑on role, you’ll support the upkeep of our facilities - ensuring guest rooms, public areas, and back‑of‑house spaces are safe, functional, and maintained to a high standard. Your work will play a vital part in creating a comfortable and seamless experience for our guests.

THE STAGE IS SET

The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.

THE WORK IN YOUR HANDS

• Carry out routine maintenance and repairs across the hotel property
• Assist with preventive maintenance tasks, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, and painting
• Respond promptly to maintenance requests from hotel staff and guests
• Monitor and report any defects or hazards in the building and equipment
• Support the Maintenance Manager with emergency repairs and troubleshooting
• Maintain tools, equipment, and maintenance logs
• Work safely and follow health and safety procedures
• Collaborate with colleagues and contractors when needed

Naturally this is not intended as an exhaustive list of duties. Other duties as may be reasonably required will form part of this job description.

THE FIRE YOU CARRY

• Basic technical skills in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, or general building maintenance
• Ability to identify and resolve maintenance issues efficiently
• Physically fit and comfortable with manual tasks
• A team player with good communication skills
• Dependable and punctual
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to standards
• Flexibility to work varied hours, including weekends and on‑call duties

YOUR PROVEN TRACK

• Previous experience in a maintenance or facilities role is preferred
• Trade qualifications or certifications in electrical, plumbing, carpentry, or mechanical work are a plus
• Understanding of health and safety procedures in the workplace
• Experience in a hotel, resort, or large property is an advantage

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
