About the role
Every day brings something new, but your core responsibilities will center around the implementation of laundry standards and procedures. You'll be expected to maintain an up-to-date and in-depth knowledge of all laundry systems and be responsible for opening and closing shifts, incoming and outgoing calls to the Laundry Department. You'll work closely with Housekeeping to meet both guest and hotel laundry needs, ensuring valet items are processed and delivered promptly. In addition, you'll coordinate laundry storage areas, and conduct shift briefings to keep the team aligned with hotel operations.
About you
To be successful in this role, you must have experience working in a hotel or resort laundry environment. Flexibility is essential, as night, weekend, and holiday shifts are all part of the job. Excellent communication skills are a must—you’ll be approachable and responsive, handling both guest concerns and compliments with ease. Fluency in the local language is required. Strong interpersonal abilities, both written and verbal, are essential, along with being literate and tech-savvy to manage systems and communications effectively. Additionally, a valid forklift license is essential, as operating laundry equipment and handling inventory may involve forklift use (you will not be successful without one).
