Job description

As our Maintenance Technician, you’re the go-to fixer, problem-spotter, and calm-in-the-chaos presence that keeps our hotel running smoothly behind the scenes.

From quick repairs to preventative checks, you’re hands-on, practical, and always one step ahead. No two days look the same, and that’s exactly how you like it. You’re part of the local hub team, trusted to take ownership, work independently, and jump in where needed.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It

Things break. Lights flicker. Doors squeak. And that’s where you come in.
