At voco Muscat Al Mouj, we’re preparing to open our doors soon — and we’re looking for passionate, talented individuals to help us bring this exciting new property to life.

We are seeking a tech-savvy and service-oriented IT Specialist to manage and support the hotel’s technology systems, ensuring smooth and secure operations across all departments.

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, a customer-focused attitude, and a solid understanding of hospitality IT infrastructure.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY:

• Provide first-line support for all hotel IT systems, including Property Management Systems (PMS), Point of Sale (POS), telephone systems, CCTV, Wi-Fi, and other hotel-specific software and hardware.
• Install, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot hardware (computers, printers, routers, servers) and software applications.
• Ensure reliable operation and uptime of hotel networks, internet services, and server infrastructure.
• Support and train staff in the use of hotel systems and software.
• Monitor system performance, perform backups, and implement data recovery strategies.
• Ensure IT security and compliance with company and regulatory requirements, including antivirus protection, firewall management, and data protection protocols.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation for all systems, configurations, licenses, and support procedures.
• Coordinate with external vendors and service providers for maintenance, upgrades, or repairs.
• Assist in technology rollouts, upgrades, and hotel projects involving IT infrastructure.
• Support the implementation of digital guest experiences and technology-driven services.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of IT support experience, preferably within the hotel or hospitality industry.
• Strong understanding of Windows and Linux operating systems, networks (LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi), and server management.
• Hands-on experience with PMS (e.g., Opera, Protel), POS systems (e.g., MICROS, Toast), and hospitality technology solutions.
• Good knowledge of IT security, backup systems, and data privacy practices.
• Ability to manage multiple support tasks with a sense of urgency and professionalism.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a focus on user support and service.
• Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and be on-call when required.
