• Liaise with contractors and suppliers for repairs, servicing, and installations
• Manage the maintenance budget with an eye for cost-efficiency
• Carry out risk assessments and document all incidents (including RIDDOR)
• Train staff in key areas: H&S, fire panel/evacuation, manual handling
• Respond promptly to team and guest maintenance requests
• Perform routine repairs in lighting, plumbing, electrics, carpentry, and decorating
• Execute regular fire alarm, sprinkler, and water safety tests
• Operate technical systems (BMS, HVAC) and hotel platforms (Opera, GXP)
• Maintain clean and safe workspaces, indoors and out—including green areas
• Read and record energy usage and meter data
