Will you become the indispensable link in our brand-new hotel team?

At our hotel, it’s all about experience. From the smile at the front desk to perfectly working air conditioning – every detail counts. That’s why we’re looking for a handy and solution-oriented Maintenance Assistant who wants to help us build a warm and safe environment for guests and colleagues.

A behind-the-scenes look at your role
No two days are the same. One morning you may be helping a guest with a broken heel; the next, you’re diving into an HVAC system that needs a little extra care. Your creativity and technical knowledge make the difference – discreet in the background, but always with visible impact.

You ensure everything runs smoothly: from lighting to elevators, meeting rooms to AV installations. Thanks to you, the hotel feels like a perfectly running machine. All in a place where hospitality and teamwork take center stage.

Your responsibilities:

• Technical support during meetings and events (e.g., microphones, projectors, screens).
• Daily technical inspections of public areas and meeting rooms.
• Small repairs to furniture, walls, or other building elements.
• Quickly and effectively resolving malfunctions and defects.
• Collaborating with external partners when needed.
• Contributing to energy management and proposing sustainable solutions.
• Following safety regulations and actively contributing to a safe workplace.
• Maintaining technical administration and maintenance records.

You are someone who:

• Is eager to take initiative and work independently, as well as think team-oriented.
• Is technically skilled or has relevant experience in a similar role.
• Has basic knowledge of electrical, plumbing, HVAC and AV technology.
• Proactively seeks solutions and likes to make a difference for others.
• Has strong communication skills in Dutch and English.
• Can work from Monday to Friday during standard business hours. We count on your flexibility to be available outside normal working hours in exceptional cases - such as urgent technical problems.

Experience in the hotel sector or with conference facilities? That’s a plus, but definitely not a must. We also welcome technical talents from other sectors looking to transition into hospitality.

What do we offer?

• A long-term commitment via a permanent contract.
• An attractive salary package, including DKV hospitalization insurance, meal and eco vouchers, global employee discounts within Marriott International
• A flexible work schedule: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other’s needs. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its benefits—pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday fitness class, or enjoy your time off while others are working.
• A unique start from day one! Be part of a high-profile hotel opening where you can make an immediate impact.
• Room for growth through Marriott’s training platform and on-the-job coaching.
• An open and supportive company culture—we believe in teamwork, trust, and having fun at work.
