• General maintenance and repairs, including basic plumbing, carpentry, painting and similar tasks
• Groundskeeping, landscaping and outdoor maintenance
• Supporting preventative maintenance checks across the property
• Helping with logistics, equipment and operational requirements around the resort
• Responding promptly to maintenance requests and resolving issues efficiently
• Supporting the upkeep of guest accommodation, facilities and back-of-house areas

What we’re looking for

You’ll be practical, proactive and comfortable rolling up your sleeves.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A practical approach to problem‑solving and repairs
• The ability to organise your own workload and work independently when required
• A positive, team‑focused attitude

• A customer‑focused mindset and awareness that even behind‑the‑scenes work contributes to the guest experience
• Basic IT troubleshooting skills
• Confidence working outdoors and across a large rural property
• Flexibility to work varied hours, including weekends and some evenings
• A valid driving licence

Even better if you have…

We’d also love to hear from you if you have experience working with any of the following:

• Heating systems, heat pumps, burners or water pumps
• Salto access systems
• Spa, sauna, hot tub or wellness equipment
• Laundry or commercial kitchen equipment
• EV car chargers
• Boats or watersports equipment
• Vehicles and golf buggies
• General resort or facilities equipment

Knowledge of systems already used at Finn Lough — including Heatboss and Salto — would be particularly useful, although training can be provided.

Why Finn Lough?

You’ll be joining a team working in one of Northern Ireland’s most unique hospitality settings, surrounded by woodland, water and nature.

In return, we offer:

• A varied, hands‑on role where no two days are quite the same
