Winter Season Maintenance and Repair Worker

Position Summary

The Winter Season Maintenance and Repair Worker performs the project-based, room-by-room maintenance work that cannot be completed when the property is at peak occupancy in spring and summer. The role focuses on returning guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house spaces to a like-new mechanical and cosmetic condition before the next peak season begins. Work is performed primarily in vacant rooms and closed sections of the hotel, on planned multi-day projects rather than guest-driven service calls. All duties fall within the standard scope of general building maintenance and do not include duties reserved for licensed trades.

Key Responsibilities

• Guest-room refurbishment cycles (primary focus)
• Work through assigned blocks of out-of-order guest rooms on a planned rotation, completing the full maintenance punch list for each room before returning it to inventory
• Inspect and replace worn door hardware, hinges, closers, strike plates, latches, and stops
• Inspect and replace worn drawer slides, drawer pulls, cabinet hinges, towel bars, robe hooks, and similar fixtures
• Replace broken or worn bath accessories, shower rods, shower heads (like-for-like), toilet seats, and toilet flappers and fill valves
• Re-caulk tubs, showers, vanities, and backsplashes; re-seal grout lines as needed
• Replace damaged ceiling tiles, vent covers, switch plates, and outlet covers
• Tighten, adjust, or replace baseboards, door trim, and corner guards as needed
• Inspect and reset or replace smoke detector batteries, thermostats (like-for-like), and remote control batteries
• Adjust and lubricate sliding-glass doors, patio-door tracks, and balcony hardware (a meaningful portion of the housing stock in PCB is balcony-facing oceanfront)

Preventive maintenance and inspection projects

• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance on guest-room equipment per the property's PM calendar
• Walk every room on assigned floors and complete a full inspection checklist; log items requiring follow-up
• Test smoke detectors, emergency lighting, and exit signs per the property's life-safety schedule
• Inspect and exercise plumbing fixtures in vacant rooms to prevent stagnation and trap dry-out

Public area and back-of-house projects

• Complete planned maintenance projects in lobbies, corridors, stairwells, fitness rooms, laundry, and storage areas while traffic is low
• Replace bulbs, ballasts (like-for-like), batteries, and air filters in common-area equipment
• Maintain pool deck furniture and beach-access hardware; report pool-equipment or water-quality issues to the team responsible for the pool
• Assist with hurricane-season recovery work (the Atlantic hurricane season runs through November 30 and overlaps the early offseason): re-hanging signage, replacing weatherstripping, addressing minor wind- and salt-driven wear

Coordination and reporting

Document completed work in the property maintenance system on a per-room and per-project basis

Stage rooms before and after vendor visits (carpet replacement, pest control, painting contractors) so the vendor's scope is not part of this role

Identify items that exceed the scope of routine maintenance and refer them to the Chief Engineer for assignment to a licensed trade or outside contractor

Maintain assigned tools, supplies, and the maintenance shop in clean and orderly condition

Requirements: MUST BE ABLE TO COMPLETE AN EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION. MUST MAINTAIN PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE. UNIFORMS (SHIRTS AND NAME TAGS) ARE PROVIDED BY THE EMPLOYER OR THE HOTEL OF ASSIGNMENT.
