• Working safely by following Health & Safety procedures and maintaining a clean, safe working environment.
• Supporting the wider team by working collaboratively with Maintenance colleagues and other hotel departments, minimising disruption to our guests wherever possible. What we’re looking for

• A practical, can-do attitude with the ability to prioritise workloads and work independently.
• A flexible team player who is happy to support other maintenance tasks and learn new skills.
• A professional approach and an understanding of the importance of the guest experience.
• Flexibility is essential, with occasional weekend working required to support the operational needs of the business. Why join our team? This is an opportunity to put your skills to work in a dynamic hotel environment, where your contribution will be visible every day. You’ll be part of a supportive Maintenance team, helping to protect the quality, appearance and standards of the hotel while developing your skills along the way.
