The role

We are looking for a talented, proactive person with a sense of humor to join our team as a Handyman at our amazing, one-of-a-kind hotel in Barcelona.

Alongside the Asset Manager and the Hotel Manager, you will be involved in everything related to maintenance and technical aspects, both inside and outside the hotel. You are a hands-on person, and as such, you will be the first point of contact for guests and colleagues when an incident or breakdown is reported. Furthermore, you believe it is essential to enjoy your work and have fun while doing it.

Working as a Handyman means no two days are the same. Some days you will carry out inspections and repairs around the hotel; other days you will be in charge of adjusting and coordinating various technical activities and collaborating with internal and external parties involved.
