Chief Engineer
We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Chief Engineer to oversee all maintenance operations within our hotel property. The successful candidate will ensure the safety, functionality, and high standards of the building, guest rooms, and facilities while leading a small maintenance team and coordinating with external contractors.
THE STAGE IS SET
The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.
What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.
