Job description

What You’ll Do:

The hustle and bustle of hotel life cause daily wear and tear on all aspects of our property – our linens are no exception! Our Laundry Attendants are there to ensure our linens are always clean, crisp, and presentable to our guests. You are responsible for the washing and drying of hotel linens and guest laundry. Your efforts will ensure that hotel guests live in a happy, healthy, and clean space for the duration of their stay.

Some of your daily responsibilities include:

• Washing, drying, folding, sorting and storing of all clean linens, towels, napkins, and tablecloths.
• Operating appropriate equipment to sort, weigh, wash, dry, iron, and fold or package hotel laundry items
• Maintaining linen supplies to the specified linen supply level
• Cleaning up machines and surrounding areas.

Where You’ve Been:

You’re someone with the ability to clearly communicate with guests and other team members, learn quickly, stay calm under pressure, and work effectively with limited supervision. While previous hotel laundry and housekeeping experience is a plus, it is not required.

When You’re Here:

This is not a job where you sit behind a desk. Be prepared to move around because more than half of the time you will be standing/sitting, carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and more. You also must be able to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
