Work History
Maintenance
Meriton Suites Hotel
02.2025 - 09.2025
- I started at Meriton suites in February and have enjoyed every bit of it, learning new things constantly about work and about myself. since i have worked here i've worked for 4 months on my own running the maintenance sector of this building with a total of 205 units, 4 pools indoor/outdoor, putting 2 workers through full training. and plenty more doing everything on my own. Some of the works included here are working on toilet cisterns, windows, shower resilicone ect. I dealt with the 2025 cyclone deal, fire emergency training, A/C issues and servicing miscellaneous things throughout the hotel. i was planning to stay here to onboard new skills and move up in positions. but the higher position is no longer available so there is no reason for me to stay here. I implemented professional maintenance management software, enhancing tracking and reporting of maintenance works, future works and previous works.
