About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Handyperson to join the Engineering team at Pullman Cairns International.

This role suits someone with a trade or solid maintenance background who enjoys fixing things properly and working as part of a capable, experienced team. If you’re coming from site-based or reactive maintenance work and want something more stable, organised and mostly indoors, this role offers a great change without losing the hands-on aspect of the job.

You’ll be working in a well-maintained, air-conditioned 5-star hotel with clear systems, realistic workloads and a team that supports each other.

The Engineering Team & Environment

Our Engineering team is experienced, practical and proactive. Jobs are planned, parts and materials are readily available, and you’re supported by supervisors and trades who know the building inside and out.

The team takes pride in their work, with care and attention to detail.

You’ll work across guest rooms and public areas, maintaining presentation, reliability and workmanship in line with 5-star expectations.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Carrying out hands-on maintenance and repairs across guest rooms and hotel facilities
• Fixing day-to-day issues such as fixtures, fittings, doors, locks, plumbing and general building items
• Assisting with basic air-conditioning, electrical and mechanical tasks within your skill set
• Returning out-of-service rooms to operation efficiently
• Completing preventative maintenance tasks to keep the property running smoothly
• Working closely with the Engineering team and coordinating with contractors when required
• Maintaining safety, cleanliness and presentation standards across the property

What We’re Looking For

• Trade background or strong maintenance experience (carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC or similar)
• Good fault-finding skills and a practical, hands-on approach
• Someone who takes pride in their work and pays attention to detail
• Reliable, self-motivated and able to work independently or as part of a team
• Good communication skills and a professional attitude
• Physically fit and comfortable with manual tasks
• Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including weekends and public holidays

If you’re looking for a professional supportive work environment where your technical skills are valued and where you contribute meaningfully to the guest experience, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in It for You

• Predominantly indoor work in a clean, air-conditioned environment
• A consistent, manageable workload
• All tools, equipment and uniform provided (including laundry)
• Stable, full-time employment
• Supportive and experienced Engineering team
• Work in a well-organised facility with clear systems and standards
• Access to Accor training, development and career opportunities

Why Join Pullman Cairns Engineering?

This is an opportunity to step into a stable, professional environment where your maintenance skills are respected, your days are structured, and you’re part of a capable Engineering team that takes pride in the work they do.
