TELL ME MORE

As our Engineering Supervisor , you’ll be responsible for the smooth-running of our entire building (its resources and the building itself), while leading the department.

Manage suppliers and contractors end-to-end: from sourcing, requesting, and reviewing quotes, to contracting and following up on performance (incl. Capex projects).

Love to troubleshoot: Act as the troubleshooter in case of issues, ranging from common repairs, sanitary facilities, lighting, door mechanics, HVAC, paintwork, and more. Provide guidance and support to our Hotel Engineer in solving technical issues quickly and effectively.

Administration hero: Record and manage all repairs in our Building Management System and Maintenance program. Manage supplier documentation and service contracts. Monitor Building Management System, supplies, request purchase orders when needed, and maintain cost controls. Ensure compliance with local fire life safety regulations and other technical standards.

Safety first: Conduct regular inspections of the property to identify and address any maintenance issues or hazards. Guarantee that the building complies with local regulations and Zoku standards, keeping safety and sustainability at the core.
