9. Respond promptly to team and guest maintenance requests
10. Perform routine repairs in lighting, plumbing, electrics, carpentry, and decorating
11. Execute regular fire alarm, sprinkler, and water safety tests
12. Operate technical systems (BMS, HVAC) and hotel platforms (Opera, GXP)
13. Maintain clean and safe workspaces, indoors and out—including green areas
14. Read and record energy usage and meter data

What We’re Looking For

1. Proven hands-on experience with HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
2. Solid understanding of Health & Safety regulations and record-keeping
3. Experience with minor repairs: lighting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and decorating
4. Able to work independently and stay well organized
5. Physically fit and comfortable with manual work
6. Friendly, professional, and a natural team player
7. Fluent English speaker with clear communication skills
8. Confident using tech systems and tools
9. Experience managing Planned and Preventative Maintenance programmes
10. Familiarity with fire/life safety systems (e.g., sprinklers, alarms, panels)
11. Knowledge of hotel tech systems like BMS, GXP, and Opera
12. Ability to train colleagues in core H&S and operational areas
13. Prior involvement in Health & Safety Committees
