Who We Are

White Lodging develops and operates a portfolio of award-winning premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants in some of the country's most dynamic cities. We know that the hospitality business, like life, is about how you make people feel. That's where you come in. You'll help bring the virtue of hospitality to life while we create an environment that allows you to be your best self and grow.

JW Marriott Charlotte is one of Charlotte, North Carolina's premier luxury full-service hotels — a high-profile Marriott flagship property in the heart of uptown Charlotte, home to Caroline's Oyster Bar, Dean's Italian Steakhouse, and a standard of physical plant excellence that reflects the JW Marriott brand's commitment to luxury at every guest touchpoint. Maintaining the beauty, functionality, and presentation of this property is a matter of genuine pride — and that's where you come in.

We are hiring a Maintenance Technician with strong finish and interior maintenance skills to join the engineering team at the JW Marriott Charlotte. This role is purpose-built for a skilled tradesperson with hands-on experience in vinyl wallpaper installation and repair, guest-room preventive maintenance, interior painting, caulking, drywall repair, and finish-level interior work — the detail-oriented, guest-room-facing maintenance skills that protect the appearance and long-term asset value of a luxury hotel property. If you're a hotel maintenance technician, interior maintenance specialist, or skilled tradesperson with finish carpentry, flooring, or interior renovation experience, looking for hotel maintenance jobs in Charlotte, NC, or facilities maintenance roles at a JW Marriott property, this is your opportunity to bring your craft to one of uptown Charlotte's most prestigious hotels.

What You'll Do

• Perform guest room preventative maintenance (PM) inspections and repairs across all guest rooms and suites at the JW Marriott Charlotte — identifying and resolving maintenance issues before they impact the guest experience
• Install, repair, and replace vinyl wallpaper throughout guest rooms, corridors, and public areas — maintaining the appearance standards of a luxury JW Marriott property
• Perform interior painting throughout the hotel — including guest rooms, corridors, public spaces, and back-of-house areas — with the precision and finish quality expected of an upscale Charlotte hotel
• Execute drywall repair and patching — including skim coating, sanding, and finishing to a paint-ready surface — restoring guest room and public area walls to like-new condition
• Apply caulking and sealants in bathrooms, kitchens, and wet areas throughout the hotel — maintaining watertight, professionally finished surfaces in all guest-facing spaces
• Make structural repairs to woodwork, furnishings, millwork, and fixtures — including finish-level carpentry work that meets the presentation standards of a luxury hotel environment
• Check fixtures, lighting, and signage for proper operation; maintain an adequate supply of spare parts, paint, and finish materials to support uninterrupted maintenance operations
• Respond to and complete hotel maintenance work orders in a timely, guest-focused manner — prioritizing guest room repairs and high-visibility public area work
• Keep all work areas — including the maintenance shop, guest rooms, and corridors — neat, safe, and professionally presented throughout and after every repair
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Chief Engineer or the Engineering leadership team

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated hands-on experience in preventative maintenance, vinyl wallpaper installation and repair, interior painting, drywall repair, and caulking — this is the core skillset this role is built around and prior experience in these areas is strongly preferred
• Finish-level attention to detail — you take pride in work that looks professionally done in a luxury hotel environment where guests notice everything
• Proficiency with interior painting techniques — including cutting in, rolling, touch-up work, and color matching in a high-traffic hotel environment
• Working knowledge of drywall repair techniques — including patching, mudding, taping, skim coating, and sanding to a finished surface
• Familiarity with caulking, sealant application, and basic plumbing and fixture repairs in a hotel guest room environment
• Basic knowledge of general hotel maintenance, electrical systems, and HVAC — prior hotel engineering or facilities maintenance experience a plus
• Physical ability to lift and carry up to 10 lbs. regularly and up to 25 lbs. occasionally; ability to stand, kneel, and move at a fast pace for extended periods throughout each shift
