The role of Maintenance Technician / Houseperson is integral to supporting the hotel's overall operation. This position combines responsibilities for maintaining the physical infrastructure of the property as well as assisting in housekeeping duties to ensure all areas meet the highest expectations. The Maintenance Technician / Houseperson is tasked with performing routine and preventative maintenance on various building systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical components.
