Manage a prompt and efficient system for responding to and resolving maintenance requests, prioritizing those that impact the guest experience directly.
Conduct regular and detailed inspections of all public areas, guest suites, and back-of-house facilities to identify and address issues related to wear and tear, ensuring the property always reflects a five-star standard of presentation.

Leadership, Compliance & Safety

Lead, mentor, and schedule a skilled team of maintenance technicians and tradespeople, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and exceptional service.
Serve as the hotel’s primary expert on Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) compliance, ensuring all practices, contractor management, and documentation adhere to the highest standards of statutory and company policy.
Build and maintain strong relationships with external vendors, contractors, and service providers, negotiating contracts and ensuring all work performed on-site meets the hotel’s rigorous quality and safety requirements.
