Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You

Picture yourself brightening someone’s day. When you join our Hotels team, that’s exactly what you’ll do every time you come to work! As a HVAC Technician, you’re not just maintaining the hotel’s physical safety and functionality - you’re spreading the light and warmth of hospitality by delivering memorable experiences that make the stay for every guest.

Here's what you'll do during a typical day:

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, and maintain single-phase and three-phase refrigeration systems, electrical circuits, and control components.
• Fabricate, install, modify, repair, and maintain HVAC duct work and associated mechanical systems in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, and safety standards.
• Demonstrate practical knowledge of sheet metal selection, including galvanized iron (GI), aluminum, stainless steel, and other suitable duct materials.
• Carry out duct cladding, insulation, lagging, sealing, and weatherproofing to minimize heat gain, condensation, air leakage, and energy losses.
• Install, inspect, and maintain air distribution systems, including supply and return air ducts, exhaust systems, diffusers, grilles, dampers, plenum boxes, flexible connectors, and duct accessories.
• Perform duct routing, air diversion, resizing, retrofitting, and system modifications to improve airflow, resolve distribution issues, and accommodate building changes.
• Maintain and service commercial refrigeration equipment, including reach-in/upright single- and double-door refrigerators and freezers, chest freezers, blast freezers, undercounter refrigerators, ice-making machines, ice cream machines, and other refrigeration appliances.
• Inspect and maintain compressors, condensers, evaporators, fans, thermostats, pressure switches, solenoid valves, expansion devices, and associated refrigeration components.
• Demonstrate working knowledge of electric motor starter connections, including direct-on-line (DOL) starters, contactors, overload relays, control wiring, and motor protection devices.
• Troubleshoot refrigeration and HVAC control systems, including temperature controllers, sensors, timers, relays, contactors, and basic electronic control circuits.
• Carry out preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, performance checks, temperature monitoring, and operational testing to ensure equipment functions within specified parameters.
• Identify refrigerant leaks, abnormal operating pressures, electrical faults, poor cooling performance, and compressor or motor failures; perform repairs and refrigerant handling in accordance with applicable safety and environmental requirements.
• Support the maintenance of ice-making and ice cream machines, ensuring proper operation, hygiene, and compliance with food safety requirements.
• Maintain accurate maintenance logs, equipment service records, fault reports, and spare-parts inventories.
• Respond promptly to equipment breakdowns, particularly in kitchens, food storage facilities, restaurants, and other critical hotel operational areas.
• Coordinate with the engineering team and external service providers while minimizing disruption to hotel operations and guest services.
• Comply with hotel procedures, electrical safety standards, lockout/tagout requirements where applicable, and permit-to-work systems.
• Assist in the operation and maintenance of AHUs, FCUs, ventilation fans, exhaust systems, refrigeration equipment, and associated HVAC&R components.
• Operate, inspect and troubleshoot two 800TR and two 400TR water cooled Trane chiller plants connected to three BAC cooling towers through distribution pumps and piping network.
