Maintenance Tech | Hampton Inn by Hilton Des Moines Airport | Des Moines, IA

What You’ll Do:

We’re looking for the ultimate Jack (or Jill)-of-All-Trades. Our Maintenance Technicians are responsible for maintaining and repairing all hotel equipment from kitchen, laundry and plumbing to HVAC, electrical and guest rooms—all with minimum downtime. When things go south, you’re the one to call!

As a Maintenance Technician, we hope you can keep a lot of balls in the air because you’re going to be juggling a million tasks both inside and outside of the hotel. You’ll make sure broken things get fixed, and proactively seek solutions to problems, making sure to pay attention to detail. Think you have what it takes?

Here’s a snapshot of a typical day:

• Making repairs to electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment as needed, with minimum down time. 
• Installing and replacing light fixtures and bulbs.
• Conducting scheduled inspections as well as checking and repairing equipment malfunctions.
• Ensure that chemicals and hazardous materials are used and stored properly, and that all required reporting is done accurately. 
• Securing the building as needed including monitoring, activating and resetting automatic security systems, repairing broken locks and maintaining keys to the building.

Where You’ve Been:

We’re looking for someone with a High School diploma or equivalent, plus a minimum of one year’s trade-related and/or training in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry and building maintenance. Working knowledge of basic hand and power tools doesn’t hurt either. As an associate of PM Hotel Group you have no problem collaborating within a diverse team dynamic and working calmly under pressure. This job is high energy and anything but dull!

While You’re Here:

This is not a job where you sit behind a desk. Be prepared to move around because more than half of the time you will be standing/sitting, carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and more. Must be able to sit or stand for 8 hours at a time and position oneself to repair things in hard to reach areas and occasionally ascend/descend a ladder to service the lights/roof and make other necessary repairs.  You also must be able to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
