The Vibe

The Vendue is not a traditional hotel, and this isn’t a traditional maintenance role. We are a bursting, color-saturated, 200+ piece curated art gallery that just happens to be a world-class boutique hotel in the heart of Charleston’s French Quarter. We like to shake things up, inject a little flair into hospitality, and ensure our guests—and our team—are always having a damn good time.

We have the location, the city's top rooftop bar, and the moxie—now we just need you to help keep our canvas flawless.

What We Offer (The Perks)

• Pay: $19.00/hour (Full-Time) + Time-and-a-half for overtime.
• Flexibility: Earned wage access before payday via PayActiv.
• Lifestyle: Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Holidays, and tuition reimbursement.
• Discounts: Generous employee rates at all Avocet-owned hotels and restaurants.
• Benefits: Affordable Medical/Dental/Vision plans, plus company-provided life insurance.
• Location: 19 Vendue Range—steps away from Waterfront Park and the Historic City Market.

What You’ll Do (Primary Duties)

You’ll take ultimate pride in caring for, repairing, and preserving all areas of our historic property.

• Keep it Functioning: Inspect and perform routine maintenance across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems (think switching fixtures, fixing faucets, and troubleshooting issues).
• Master of Aesthetics: Handle painting and drywall touch-ups to keep the property visually stunning.
• Collaborate: Partner closely with Housekeeping and Guest Services to resolve room work orders rapidly and ensure everything shines before guests notice.
• Be Proactive: Execute ongoing room preventative maintenance programs with a sharp eye for detail.

Who You Are (Job Requirements)

• Experienced: 1+ years of maintenance experience preferred (hotel/hospitality background is a major plus!).
• Certified: High School diploma or equivalent combination of experience. EPA/HVAC certification is a plus.
• Capable: Skilled with hand/power tools, self-motivated, and highly organized under pressure.
• Communicative: Fluent in English to connect seamlessly with the team and follow directions safely.
• Flexible: Ready to work a dynamic schedule based on hotel demand, including some evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Physical: Able to stand/walk for an entire shift, navigate ladders, work outdoors when needed, and comfortably lift up to 75 lbs.
