Your day to day

You'll play a key role in keeping the resort comfortable, functional and operating at the highest standard.

 Your day-to-day involves maintaining, repairing, and optimizing all air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration systems across the property - from luxury guest rooms and restaurants to back-of-house areas, cold rooms and mechanical plant spaces.

Each day brings something different.

 You might start by checking chilled water systems, inspecting AHUs and FCUs, or responding to a callout for guest room that isn't cooling properly.

 you'll carry out regular preventative maintenance on split systems, VRV/VRF systems, and large commercials chillers to prevent issues before they arise.

 Ensuring that fridge/freezer units in kitchens, bars, and storage areas are performing efficiently is also a big part of your responsibilities.

You'll work closely with electricians, plumbers, and building services teams to support cross-trade maintenance tasks and ensure smooth operation across all areas of the resort.

 Documentation, system checks, fault finding, gas leak detection, and ensuring all systems comply with safety and environmental standards are routine parts of your workflow.

You're always ready to jump in when needed - whether is a quick fix with a minibar fridge or an urgent chiller shutdown.

 Your attention to detail, technical skill and commitment to comfort help ensure guests enjoy a flawless island experience, every single day.
