Find where you belong!

Have you got a passion for fixing and making things better? Are you experienced in day to day maintenance of property? Travelodge has one of the largest in-house maintenance teams and we are looking for a maintenance expert to help improve our hotels to provide customers an unforgettable experience.

What’s it all about?

If you enjoy a hands-on role and take pride in keeping things running smoothly, this could be a great fit. You will be based at one or two hotel, working closely with the Hotel Manager and team to help maintain the property. There will be a variety of maintenance tasks to get involved with, including fixing basic plumbing issues, carrying out repairs due to general wear and tear, and completing basic electrical works, just to name a few.
