Located at the Akkerhage site in Ghent, three recently built hotels operate side by side: Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Residence Inn by Marriott Ghent and Courtyard by Marriott Ghent. Together, they offer a total capacity of 405 rooms, complemented by a state-of-the-art event center, several meeting rooms, and high-quality restaurants.

To strengthen our technical department in this diverse and dynamic environment, we are looking for a motivated Facility Maintenance Technician. In this role, you will be jointly responsible for the technical management of a modern infrastructure where hospitality and guest experience are key.

You ensure that our infrastructure operates flawlessly: from meeting rooms to lighting, from microphones to HVAC systems. Every detail matters – and you make the difference.

Your responsibilities:

• Together with three colleagues, you provide technical support for daily operational activities.
• You carry out daily technical inspections of guest rooms, technical installations, public areas, and event spaces.
• You perform minor repairs to the building and furniture.
• You resolve technical malfunctions and coordinate with external contractors when required.
• You participate in an on-call duty system (rotational) to ensure continuity of operations.
• You contribute to efficient energy management and our sustainability objectives.
• You have a strong focus on safety: you strictly follow safety procedures and monitor compliance.
• You maintain technical administration and maintenance reports.

You are a hands-on technical all-rounder with a proactive mindset. You are eager to learn, attentive, and friendly towards both colleagues and guests. You remain calm in a dynamic environment, can work independently, and enjoy being part of a team.

You have:

• A technical education, relevant work experience, or you are a highly experienced and skilled DIY professional.
• Basic knowledge of electricity (essential). Knowledge of plumbing, HVAC, and AV technology is a strong asset.
• A strong awareness of safety, quality, and sustainability.
• A good command of Dutch and English.
• Flexibility with regard to working hours.

• A long-term commitment through a permanent contract.
• An attractive salary package, including DKV hospitalization insurance, meal vouchers, eco vouchers, and worldwide employee discounts within Marriott International.
• A flexible working arrangement: we actively support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another where possible.
• Room for growth through the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.
• An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust, and enjoyment at work.
