WHO YOU ARE

You possess humility and recognize the importance of collaboration; you genuinely value constructive feedback to enhance your performance.

Your background is diverse and dynamic.

You are prepared for emergencies, radiating calmness, confidence, and expertise when faced with the unexpected.

You have a deep appreciation for the colleagues and teams you have collaborated with throughout your career.

You acknowledge that a structured and methodical approach to preventive maintenance is essential for the longevity and health of the property.

You understand that every hour spent preparing is invaluable compared to the hours spent reacting. You believe that success is achieved through teamwork and collaboration.

THE ROLE

The Facilities Maintenance Specialist reports to the Chief Operating Engineer and, like all qualified specialists, possesses a broad knowledge of electrical systems, plumbing, steam, gas, fire safety, and HVAC refrigeration.

This role requires hands-on involvement in the daily operations, servicing, and repairs of hotel equipment. If you prefer to focus on the bigger picture without engaging in the details, this position may not be suitable for you.

The role will also foster trusting and transparent relationships with fellow hotel associates.

As a member of Aparium Hotel Group, you will collaborate with an exceptional team that values collaboration, humility, experience, and open-mindedness—egos are not welcome.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

Embody and exemplify the company's principles of People, Place, ensuring experiences of authentic hospitality, intuitive service, and teamwork.

Maintain positive working relationships with colleagues by promoting teamwork and creating a harmonious work environment.

Responsibilities include overseeing all equipment, systems, and building components, including but not limited to mechanical and electrical systems, pumps, HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, locks, furniture, paint, wall coverings, tile, and other equipment.

Conduct routine maintenance, repairs, and cleanliness in guest rooms, public areas, event spaces, outlets, back-of-house areas, and grounds.

Demonstrate knowledge of the hotel's safety systems and take corrective actions on any maintenance or operational issues affecting the security or functionality of the hotel.

Participate in the room preventive maintenance program.

Utilize your skills and intuition to identify equipment malfunctions and discuss operational variations with supervisors or other maintenance personnel to diagnose issues or perform repairs.

Repair and maintain the physical structure of the establishment and furnishings as necessary.
Maintain comprehensive knowledge of and adhere to all departmental policies, service procedures, and standards; participate in all scheduled training sessions and meetings.
Transport heavy items within the hotel for maintenance and repairs.
Assist in the delivery and setup of new equipment such as televisions, mattresses, tables, chairs, etc.
Communicate with the Chief Operating Engineer regarding assigned projects.
Respond to all guest requests promptly and courteously.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

A minimum of two (2) years of experience in building maintenance; prior experience as a hotel engineer is preferred or comparable experience in settings such as apartment complexes or office buildings.

Basic knowledge of refrigeration systems, electricity, HVAC, and plumbing; certifications are advantageous.
Maintain a Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certification.
Proficiency in the English language in reading, writing, and verbal communication.
Ability to sit, stand, and walk for extended periods, bend, climb stairs, and lift up to 50 lbs.
Ability to work independently, self-manage, and make a meaningful impact.
Ability to work varied shifts, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays.

WHO WE ARE
Hotels done differently. This is not merely a slogan; it reflects our ethos in every aspect of our operations.

We believe in the significance of People, Place, and Character; ensuring our properties are environments where individuals are valued and celebrated, honoring the neighborhoods and communities we serve; enhancing our associates' pride in their identity, locality, and the people we cater to.

Since its inception, Aparium has evolved into a unique hotel brand, one that explores unconventional paths, both geographically and philosophically.

It is a sophisticated hotel brand recognized for its exceptional ability to merge the business acumen of large hospitality firms with the charm of boutique hotels, harmonizing diverse elements in vibrant, smaller markets.

Hotel Heron, located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, will offer guests a fresh perspective on the area.

With Washington, DC just a short distance away, Hotel Heron serves as a beacon, inviting travelers to explore beyond the well-trodden National Mall and Monuments to discover a city on the brink of a new renaissance.

Originally established in 1926 as the George Mason Hotel, this adaptive reuse combines the historic inn with a new building housing modern event spaces and elevated guest accommodations.

This chic 134-room boutique hotel features a signature ground-floor restaurant serving Mid-Atlantic cuisine, a cozy craft cocktail bar nestled within the hotel, and an open-air seasonal rooftop bar offering stunning views of the Potomac.

Elevated amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center and meeting spaces designed for socializing, co-working, creating, dining, drinking, and relaxation.

The hotel unites world travelers and local residents while showcasing Alexandria's rich heritage and innovative spirit through thoughtful collaborations with local businesses and artisans.

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, Aparium Hospitality Services celebrates diversity and is dedicated to fostering an equitable and inclusive environment, ensuring a sense of belonging for all employees.

We uphold a non-discrimination policy, believing every individual should take pride in their identity and background while serving our community.

Hotel Heron participates in the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify program.
