Shift Engineer
Company Description
We are looking for a new Shift Engineer to join us at The Hoxton, Holborn.
Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be responsible for repairs and resolving maintenance issues within the property.
Holborn was the second Hox to join the fam, taking over a Grade II-listed building that was once the factory of George Kent, a famed maker of gadgets and instruments (among them a knife sharpener/cleaner now sitting in the Science Museum, no less). After Kent, BT moved in, and now this former telephone exchange is home to 220 bedrooms (expanding from the original 174) and the Apartment, plus our foodie hotspot Rondo, all a stone’s throw from the capital’s most famous shopping and entertainment districts. Rondo: Our neighbourhood restaurant in middle-town Holborn with a focus on seasonal local British dishes, unsung ingredients and great wine. Headed up by chef Tristan Downes; this is the place you wish you had at the end of your street.

- Perform general tasks such as connecting equipment, lighting, installing locks and hinges.

Qualifications
What we’re looking for…

- 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.
- You have building maintenance experience.
- Solid understanding of health & safety regulations and practices.

- Goes without saying, but we’ll feed you during your shift
