Purpose
As Maintenance Technician, you take DIY to a whole new level.

You roll up your sleeves and make the most of whatever comes your way, with a positive mindset, problem-solving ability and your upbeat attitude.
Primary Responsibilities
  • You’re an all-round fix-it person! You will complete general maintenance and repairs to guestrooms in accordance with your trade skills and qualifications, i.e., small carpet repairs, unblocking minor sink and floor wastage blockages, changing light bulbs, small repairs to tiles, tuning television and any similar tasks
  • Maintenance of all services such as domestic hot water, cold water, BMS, HVAC etc. ensuring all daily logs and records are completed and maintained as required
  • Complete routine cleaning of air conditioning filters, plant rooms and equipment as designated, and participate in routing preventative maintenance checks

  • Where circumstances prevent attending to urgent matters, you advise the manager on duty to obtain additional assistance so that matters can be dealt with as quickly as possible and you always follow-up
  • Within your technical expertise, you challenge the process by consistently exploring new suppliers and contractors to enhance plant and machinery
  • Health and safety is key – you’re always on the look out for any hazards which should be reported timely, and ensure all work health and safety procedures and policies are followed
  • Your communication is unrivalled, and you always provide a clear and concise information to others as needed and during shift handover
  • Teamwork makes the dream work! You’re happy to cross train within other departments throughout your hotel and will jump in and help out (within your scope and capability) during peak busy times
  • You drive team engagement, fostering a positive and enjoyable workplace culture throughout the hotel
  • Keep your Manager informed of any problems and unusual matters
  • This isn’t an exhaustive list – your Manager may have other reasonable tasks, projects or instructions on occasion

  • You (ideally) have a Testing & Tagging licence
  • You have (ideally) 1-2 years’ experience in a similar role in a similar size property.
