As Cambridge House’s IT Manager, you will be a technical leader, instrumental in bringing our systems, processes, and support infrastructure online, before opening, and maintaining them to the highest standards afterwards. You will work closely with external specialists and internal team members. You will train and equip our duty engineers, ensure smooth resolution of issues, and uphold systems that support everything from guest stay to back-of-house operations. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape and influence the technology landscape from the ground up by developing and establishing procedures, SOPs, and standards that will guide future operations and drive innovation.

• Lead the commissioning and setup of all hotel IT/engineering systems in collaboration with external technicians, ensuring everything meets or exceeds luxury hotel standards.

• Train, mentor and support duty engineers and other technical team members to troubleshoot systems, follow best practices, and deliver seamless support.
• Rapidly diagnose and resolve technical issues, working either hands‑on or coordinating with engineers and external contractors, ensuring minimal disruption to guests and operations.

• Proven ability to train and supervise duty engineers.
