Job Description

Would you like to be Mama Shelter Cape Town?

THE MISSION?

• You're the hero behind the scenes, making sure Mama never skips a beat. Whether it's a guest room, a buzzing restaurant, or a back-of-house area, you keep everything running smoothly. 🔧✨

• Electrical issue? Plumbing leak? Aircon acting up? You jump into action, diagnose the problem, and get things back on track before anyone has time to panic. ⚡🚰❄️

• You're a true jack (or jill) of all trades, turning your hand to carpentry, painting, repairs, and general maintenance to keep Mama looking fresh and fabulous. 🎨🪚

• Preventative maintenance is your secret weapon. You spot problems before they happen, keeping our equipment, systems, and facilities in tip-top shape. 📋🔍

• Guests may not always know your name, but they'll definitely feel the difference your work makes. You respond with professionalism, efficiency, and a smile. ❤️🏨

• Safety is non-negotiable for you. You follow procedures, respect regulations, and help create a safe environment for guests and teammates alike. 🦺✅

• You believe that every drop of water and every watt of energy matters, helping Mama stay sustainable while keeping operations running perfectly. 🌍💚

Qualifications

MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF…

• You have experience in hotel maintenance, facilities, construction, engineering, or a similar environment and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. 🏨🔧

• You know your way around electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, painting, and general building maintenance. You're not expected to know everything, but you're always willing to learn. ⚡🚰🪚

• Problem-solving is basically a hobby. When something breaks, you don't see a problem, you see a challenge. 🧩💡

• You're organised, reliable, and able to manage multiple tasks without sacrificing quality. 📋✅

• You take pride in your work and notice the little things that others miss. 👀✨

• Working with people comes naturally to you. Whether it's a guest, contractor, or fellow team member, you know how to communicate with confidence and respect. 🤝😄

Additional Information

YOUR LITTLE EXTRAS :

• You can hear a strange noise from across the building and immediately start investigating. Sherlock Holmes would be proud. 🕵️🔧

• Your toolbox is your happy place. 🧰❤️

• You don't just repair things; you improve them. ✨

• Flexible hours, weekends, public holidays or emergency call-outs don't scare you. Hospitality never sleeps, and sometimes neither do maintenance issues. 🌙⚙️

• You're calm under pressure and always ready with a solution, even when everyone else is still trying to figure out the problem. 😎💪

• And of course, you're comfortable communicating in English and working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are ever the same. 🗣️🏨
