Experienced hospitality maintenance operative skilled in property repairs and leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated maintenance operative with extensive hands-on experience across mid-size hotel properties, delivering reliable repairs in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general building upkeep. I consistently prioritize guest safety and operational continuity while supporting cross-department communication.
I've led maintenance teams for properties up to 180 rooms, managing daily operations, vendor relations, and inventory to maintain high standards and reduce costs. I drove initiatives that cut annual maintenance costs by 30% and reduced repair-response times substantially.
My technical accomplishments include completing a 60-room renovation, implementing preventive maintenance for PTAC units that lowered repair costs by 20%, and resolving complex plumbing issues that reduced water waste by 30%. I also improved work-order processes and trained staff on safety and best practices.
I bring a practical, hands-on approach to property maintenance, focused on efficiency, preventative care, and strong teamwork. I seek roles where I can continue improving facility reliability, mentor technicians, and contribute to operational excellence.
