Job Description

The Maintenance Technician/Houseperson position is part of a dynamic hospitality establishment, typically found within the hotel industry, dedicated to providing exceptional guest experiences by maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. Hotels operate as full-service facilities offering lodging, dining, and various guest services which require a multitude of skilled staff to ensure operational excellence and customer satisfaction. This role is essential to the overall upkeep of the hotel property, blending technical maintenance with hospitality support to meet and exceed brand standards and company expectations.

This role is suited for an individual who thrives in a dual capacity that involves hands-on technical work as well as guest-facing responsibilities. The Maintenance Technician/Houseperson performs a wide array of duties that guarantee the operational efficiency of the hotel’s electrical, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, and safety systems. They also actively contribute to the cleanliness and orderly condition of public areas, guest rooms, and service zones. By handling routine repairs and preventative maintenance, responding promptly to guest requests, conducting regular area inspections, and helping with renovations or special projects, this position ensures a seamless guest experience and the longevity of the hotel’s infrastructure.

Beyond technical expertise, the role involves active collaboration with housekeeping teams by assisting with supplies and guest needs such as rollaway beds and cribs. Attention to detail is critical for this role, especially in monitoring for safety hazards, lost and found items, and property damage while maintaining high levels of cleanliness and organization. Adaptability and guest-focus are key attributes, as the individual is expected to work independently, prioritize multiple tasks efficiently, and maintain a welcoming and safe atmosphere for both guests and team members. The job requires flexibility to work weekends, holidays, and varying shifts according to operational demand, underscoring the necessity for a reliable and dedicated professional.
