Responsibilities

From the little everyday details—maintenance of guestrooms, public spaces, and the back of the house—to the big capital plans that help our hotels maintain their fresh appeal, you'll schedule, direct, and follow up to ensure each project reaches completion. You'll make sure we have the right tools and equipment and keep them organized, and that chemicals and hazardous materials are used and stored properly. You'll ensure work is performed safely and efficiently.

• Perform preventative maintenance assignments on a scheduled basis.
• Lead, manage, and communicate information about capital projects and property rehabilitation.
