Maintenance Supervisor

Company Description

We’re looking for a multi-tasking, hands-on Maintenance Supervisor to support leading our fix-it team at The Hoxton, Edinburgh.

Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you'll be responsible for supporting with management of the maintenance team – helping to keep our hotel’s facilities, equipment and compliance in check, and everything in between.

We’ve opened our doors in Edinburgh’s charming West End - our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we’re home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all-day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro-inspired cinema, a flexible and super-size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment – our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What we’re looking for…

·  Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
·  Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
·  You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
·  You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
·  You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
·  If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
·  You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
