Maintenance Manager

Opening towards the end of 2026, Crystalbrook Sam will bring Crystalbrook Collection’s signature style, energy and responsible luxury philosophy to Adelaide.

Set to become an exciting new destination for travellers, locals and the city’s growing lifestyle scene, Crystalbrook Sam will combine thoughtful design, vibrant guest experiences and warm, intuitive service across accommodation, dining, events and wellness.

As we prepare to open our doors, we are building a passionate pre-opening team who will help shape the culture, standards and guest experience from the very beginning.

Reporting to the General Manager, our Maintenance Manager will lead the maintenance of Crystalbrook Sam, ensuring the hotel opens with confidence, care and operational excellence.

As part of the pre-opening leadership team, you will play a key role in bringing the property to life, establishing maintenance systems, preventative programs, contractor relationships, compliance frameworks and operational readiness from the ground up.

The Role:

You will be responsible for ensuring the hotel, guest rooms, public areas, plant, equipment and back-of-house spaces are safe, functional, beautifully maintained and aligned to the standards expected of a premium hotel experience.

Working closely with our operational team across Housekeeping, Front Office, Food and Beverage and the wider hotel leadership team, you will build a responsive, solutions-focused maintenance function that supports seamless guest experiences and strong operational performance.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced maintenance leader to influence the opening of a new destination hotel and create a team environment built on care, pride, accountability and practical excellence.

• Manage maintenance requests, repairs, inspections and follow-up with urgency, care and attention to detail.
• Support compliance across workplace health and safety, fire life safety, building services, emergency procedures and relevant statutory requirements.
• Manage maintenance budgets, stock control, procurement and contractor costs in a commercially responsible way.
• Lead, coach and support the maintenance team, creating a positive, connected and high-performing culture from day one.
• Contribute as a key member of the hotel leadership team, supporting the successful launch and ongoing performance of Crystalbrook Sam.
