Regional Maintenance & Asset Manager

Own the technical performance of four award-winning hotels across Europe. Great hospitality starts long before guests check in, and this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact on the operational excellence and long-term success of our hotels. If that sounds like your next challenge, then keep reading.

Zoku provides a home for business travelers who want to live in a city for between a few days and a few months. We're a new type of hotel offering a relaxed place to live, co-work and socialize across Europe. Join an international team of driven, proactive and fun-loving people who all have one thing in common: a passion for connecting people across the globe.

TELL ME MORE

When everything is running smoothly, guests rarely notice the work happening behind the scenes. They simply enjoy a seamless stay. At Zoku, we know that exceptional hospitality relies on well-maintained buildings, reliable systems, and a proactive approach to asset management.

As Regional Maintenance & Asset Manager, you will combine two responsibilities. In Amsterdam, you will lead on-site maintenance and guide the local technician, setting priorities and following issues to completion. Across Vienna, Copenhagen and Paris, you will set standards, monitor performance and support local teams on risk, compliance and asset quality, ensuring all our locations remain in top condition.

In this role, you'll bridge day-to-day operations and long-term asset stewardship. You will take ownership of the technical performance of our Amsterdam property while helping shape maintenance standards and investment priorities across the wider portfolio. If you're a proactive problem-solver who enjoys creating structure, driving improvements and making a visible impact across multiple locations, we'd love to meet you.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

No day looks the same as a Regional Maintenance & Asset Manager… but here's a glimpse of what you can expect:

You'll be responsible for keeping our buildings safe, compliant and performing at their best. Therefore, your tasks and responsibilities include:

• Lead Amsterdam maintenance, guide the local technician, set priorities and keep the General Manager informed.

• Establish preventive maintenance standards, asset registers, work-order discipline and reporting across all hotels. 

• Oversee building systems, Fire Life Safety, statutory checks and critical technical risks. 

• Visit Vienna, Copenhagen and Paris at least once yearly to review performance and support local teams. 

• Manage contractors and service partners on scope, cost, response time, compliance and quality. 

• Prepare capex and planned-maintenance proposals based on safety, guest impact, asset condition and cost. 

• Align technical responsibilities, contracts, costs and approvals with owners and landlords. 

• Track recurring defects, open risks and out-of-order lofts until action is complete. 

• Identify practical opportunities to improve reliability and reduce energy waste. 

You'll work closely with our General Managers, local maintenance, Operations Director, Construction & Design Manager and external technical partners and landlords.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• A gross monthly salary of €4.500 and €5.500, depending on your relevant experience.
