Maintenance and Technical Operations for Our Two Hotels in Bergen
We are looking for a hands-on, solution-oriented colleague to manage the day-to-day maintenance of our two hotels in Bergen: Citybox Danmarksplass, with 144 rooms, and Citybox Bergen, with 120 rooms.
This is an operational role for someone who enjoys keeping track of buildings, equipment, and everything that needs to function smoothly on a daily basis. You’ll work independently, plan your own workday, and ensure that tasks are actually completed—whether you handle them yourself or coordinate with the appropriate specialists.
About the role
Your primary responsibility is to ensure that our hotels run smoothly. Everything works and looks great. You work independently but closely with hotel management, and divide your time between our two hotels in Bergen.
Your workdays are varied and can include everything from cleaning and painting to adjusting doors, replacing fixtures, and troubleshooting when something isn’t working as it should. You handle what we can resolve ourselves and know when something needs to be outsourced and followed up on.
Working hours are primarily Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but the independent nature of the role also allows for flexibility. Since we are a hotel that operates 24/7, there may be a need for work in the evenings and on weekends.
Responsibilities and Tasks
- Daily operations and ongoing maintenance of both hotel buildings
- Repair and remediation of wear and tear in guest rooms and common areas
- Assembly, replacement, and minor installations
- Simple technical checks and troubleshooting
- Follow-up with external suppliers as needed
- Preventive maintenance and regular inspection rounds
- Ensuring compliance with HSE, fire, and safety procedures
What we are looking for
- Hands-on and enjoy getting things done
- Independent, organized, and able to stay calm under pressure
- Solid experience in building maintenance or operations (can compensate for lack of formal qualifications)
- Technical background, preferably with a trade certificate in electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, or similar
- Experience with operation of commercial buildings or hotels is a major plus
- Good understanding of technical systems and installations
- Solution-oriented, flexible, and confident in urgent situations
- Comfortable using a PC and digital tools in daily work
- Strong communication skills with colleagues, guests, and suppliers
- Ability to make sound judgments regarding purchasing and maintenance
What we offer
- You’ll play a key role at our two hotels in Bergen
- Your work will have a significant impact on both the guest experience and the day-to-day operations of the hotels
- You’ll enjoy a high degree of independence and varied workdays
- You’ll be an important part of a rapidly growing organization with big ambitions
- You’ll have engaged, supportive colleagues in a practical, no-fuss work environment
- You’ll be part of a culture that is honest, playful, inclusive, and loves to challenge the status quo
