You will be successful in this role when guest rooms and public spaces are maintained to high standards, maintenance requests are completed promptly, preventive maintenance stays on schedule, safety concerns are addressed, and the hotel operates efficiently with minimal disruption to our guests.

Your work may happen behind the scenes, but the results are visible throughout the entire hotel.
