A Bit About What You Will Do...
Plant Technicians are responsible for maintaining the plant and machinery that keep the hotel operating safely and efficiently, carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance.

A strong knowledge of HVAC and building systems is required, with a focus on preventative maintenance to minimise disruption to guests while ensuring full compliance with health and safety and statutory requirements.
