* Perform additional reasonable duties requested by supervisors.
Ideal Profile
The preferred candidate will have practical general-maintenance ability and an interest in developing knowledge across several hotel-engineering disciplines. They should be comfortable working in guest areas and able to explain repair activity clearly and courteously.
* High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
* Some experience in general maintenance.
* Experience with interior and exterior surface preparation and painting.
