Role Context
A hotel carpenter handles visible finishing work as well as essential repairs behind daily operations. Poorly fitted doors, damaged furniture, unstable fixtures, and deteriorating woodwork can affect guest safety, room availability, and the overall presentation of the property.
This role provides practical maintenance support throughout the complex. It requires someone who can assess defects, select suitable materials, complete accurate repairs, and leave each work area clean and ready for use.
Key Responsibilities
* Carry out carpentry, joinery, fitting, repair, and associated maintenance work throughout the hotel complex.
* Inspect reported defects and determine the safest and most effective repair method.
* Repair doors, frames, locks, cabinets, shelves, counters, partitions, panels, and wooden fixtures.
* Restore guest-room and public-area furniture where repairs can be completed safely and economically.
* Install or replace hinges, handles, brackets, fasteners, and related hardware.

Workshop control is an important part of the position.

* Cooperate with engineering technicians, supervisors, contractors, and operational departments.
* Assist with renovation, room preparation, preventive maintenance, and special hotel projects when assigned.
Ideal Profile
Applicants should hold a diploma or recognized trade certificate in carpentry. A minimum of three years of practical experience in a similar maintenance, construction, facilities, or property environment is required. Previous experience in a luxury hotel will be an advantage.
