We’re looking for a confident, hands‑on Facilities Night Supervisor to lead our out‑of‑hours technician team and keep our resort operating safely and smoothly through the night.

You’ll also act as the lead liaison for any contractors working on site during night hours, ensuring work is completed safely and to our standards.
Working closely with our Facilities Assistant Managers and Facilities Managers, you’ll also support planned strategic maintenance across the resort, helping us stay ahead of issues and deliver a consistently excellent experience for guests and teams alike.
