Job description

Keep Every Stay Running Brilliantly

At Fairfield Inn & Suites Philadelphia Broomall/Newtown Square, every detail matters. From a guest’s first impression in the lobby to a restful night’s sleep and a seamless morning departure, the condition of our hotel shapes the entire experience. This is an opportunity for a skilled, solutions-minded professional to be the steady hand behind a property that welcomes business travelers, families, and Philadelphia-area visitors alike.

Located in Broomall, in the heart of Delaware County and minutes from Newtown Square, the Main Line, and downtown Philadelphia, our hotel is ideally positioned for guests who expect comfort, consistency, and genuine hospitality. We are seeking someone who takes pride in creating a safe, polished, and reliably inviting environment—one repaired fixture, maintained system, and thoughtful preventative measure at a time.

Your Impact Will Be Seen—and Felt

This is more than keeping equipment operational. It is the opportunity to protect the guest experience, support an exceptional team, and build a respected career in hotel operations. You will bring technical capability, sound judgment, and a service-first mindset to the daily care of a well-appointed Fairfield Inn & Suites property.

• Perform routine preventative maintenance and timely repairs throughout guest rooms, public spaces, offices, and back-of-house areas.
• Troubleshoot and address plumbing, electrical, HVAC, lighting, carpentry, painting, and general building maintenance needs.
• Respond promptly and professionally to service requests, recognizing that a quick solution can turn a guest concern into a memorable moment of care.
• Conduct regular inspections to identify maintenance needs before they affect guests, associates, or hotel operations.
• Support the upkeep of life-safety systems, pool or fitness areas where applicable, exterior grounds, and mechanical equipment.
• Maintain organized work areas, accurate maintenance records, proper tools, and a safe working environment.
• Coordinate effectively with hotel leadership, housekeeping, front desk, and outside vendors to keep operations moving smoothly.
• Uphold brand standards, safety procedures, and all applicable local, state, and federal requirements.

The Professional We’re Looking For

You are resourceful, dependable, and naturally observant. You notice the details others miss: the door that does not close quite right, the light that needs attention, the temperature that is not quite comfortable. You understand that hospitality is not limited to the front desk—it lives in every clean, safe, well-functioning space a guest encounters.

• Experience in hotel, commercial building, apartment, facilities, or general property maintenance is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of basic electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, drywall, carpentry, and mechanical repairs.
• Ability to prioritize multiple requests and remain calm, courteous, and effective in a fast-paced environment.
• Commitment to workplace safety, preventative maintenance, and high standards of workmanship.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with colleagues and vendors.
• Ability to perform physical tasks that may include lifting, climbing ladders, standing, bending, and moving throughout the hotel.
• Flexibility to work a schedule that may include weekends, holidays, and occasional on-call needs.

A Career Built On Craft, Reliability, And Hospitality

Fairfield Inn & Suites is part of a hospitality tradition built around warm welcomes, dependable comfort, and thoughtful service. Here in Broomall, you will help deliver that promise to guests visiting the greater Philadelphia region—whether they are in town for work in Newtown Square, a family celebration in Delaware County, or a weekend exploring the city’s history and energy.

For the right professional, this role offers a meaningful path to deepen technical expertise, expand operational knowledge, and grow within a respected hotel environment. If you take genuine satisfaction in solving problems, improving spaces, and making every guest stay feel effortless, we invite you to bring your talent to our team.
