Planning work carefully to minimise disruption to our guests. Keeping accurate maintenance and compliance records. Helping the whole team take pride in looking after our hotel. Who we're looking for who Probably already has experience in hotel maintenance, facilities, property maintenance or a similar hands-on role. More importantly, you'll be practical, resourceful and someone who naturally takes ownership. You'll be the kind of person who sees a problem and thinks "I'll sort that" rather than walking past it. You’ll need: Strong practical and general maintenance skills. Experience of planned and preventative maintenance. A good understanding of health
