General Maintenance Technician Penrith

The Role

A hotel guest remembers how your work makes them feel.

This role is about ownership—keeping our property guest-ready every single day. We are looking for someone who spots what needs fixing before we ask, who tackles problems independently, and who understands that a broken tap or cracked tile affects how guests experience us.

About Us

We run a busy hotel in Penrith serving guests year-round. Our team is lean, supportive, and hands-on. When something breaks, we fix it fast. When the property needs an upgrade, we do it right. Your work directly impacts our reputation.

What Success Looks Like

In your first month, you will know the property inside out—which fixtures need attention, and how to solve problems without escalating every issue. We need a responsible and trustworthy person whom the front desk stops calling about slow response times and the rooms are guest-ready on schedule, and the General Manager knows they can trust you to handle the work responsibly.

What You Will Do

● Own general repairs across the property—plumbing (bathrooms), painting, tiling, grouting, basic carpentry, and fixture replacement without needing approval for routine fixes

● Run a proactive grounds-keeping program: keep external areas clean, secure, and well-maintained





● Liaise with front desk to log maintenance requests, prioritise tasks, and communicate realistic expectations

● Maintain a preventative maintenance program—regular checks that stop problems before they become emergencies

● Keep the property aesthetically excellent: rooms and public spaces look cared for, not tired

● Report to the General Manager on maintenance status and flag anything requiring professional trades

What We Are Looking For

Required

● Hands-on experience with basic repairs: plumbing, painting, carpentry, tiling, or similar

● Ability to work independently and take ownership—you do not wait for direction to tackle the backlog

● Logical problem-solving: when something does not work, you diagnose it and figure out a fix

● Explicit communication: you update the front desk on progress and flag delays early

● Positive attitude and willingness to help teammates when needed

Preferred

● A trade qualification or apprenticeship background

● Hospitality or hotel maintenance experience

● Knowledge of relevant safety standards and work codes

Job Type: Full time

Pay: $72,000.00 – $77,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
