• Be customer and standards focused and always demand the best – whether that be from your own work or that of our contractors.
• Have strong fire safety awareness and experience of completing daily, weekly and monthly proactive tests such as Fire Alarm tests, Emergency Lighting tests etc.
• Have awareness of the preventative controls involved in managing the hotel’s water systems (Legionella etc.) and experience in completing the necessary maintenance and tests.
