Handyperson & Painter

As the flagship hotel for the Mercure brand within Australia we invite you to belong to something bigger. We are a big hotel, looking for some big talent! With 517 newly refurbished rooms,11 conference rooms, and multiple food and beverage outlets, Mercure Sydney is on the lookout for an experienced Handyperson & Painter to uphold the hotel standards. 

Join Our Maintenance Team!

Are you skilled with tools, have an eye for detail, and enjoy a fast-paced work environment where no two days are the same? We're looking for a reliable and motivated Handyperson/Painter to join our dynamic maintenance team.

Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our hotel rooms, public areas, and facilities are maintained to a high standard—both behind the scenes and in guest-facing spaces.

This isn’t your typical 9-to-5 role — weekdays will focus on painting projects, while weekends offer the opportunity to showcase your all-around maintenance skills as a Handyperson.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with daily maintenance and repairs across guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house facilities.
• Paint and maintain surfaces such as walls, ceilings, doors, and furniture throughout the hotel.
• Prepare and finish surfaces using brushes, rollers, or spray-guns; mix and match paint as needed.
• Patch and repair Gyprock walls and ceilings.
• Maintain finishes on wood, masonry, and tiled surfaces (including caulking and grouting).
• Complete scheduled maintenance tasks through the hotel’s Property Management System (Opera Cloud PMS).
• Perform plant and equipment checks; report and address faults promptly.
• Ensure all tools and materials are properly handled, stored, and maintained.
• Organize and prioritize tasks to ensure efficient completion and minimal disruption to guests.
• Be responsible for the restocking, upkeep, and timely delivery of all tasks, equipment and tools related to the painting department.

• Minimum 2 years’ painting or maintenance experience preferred, but we’re happy to train a motivated learner.
• A hands-on, team-focused individual who also works well independently.
• Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines.
• Clear communicator with a positive, can-do attitude and eye for detail.
• Comfortable using tools and following safety procedures.
• Guest-focused and professional in all areas of the hotel.

Why Choose Us:

• Great location at Mercure Sydney – close to all forms of public transport
• The Team! You will be supported and working with a close-knit & fun team
• Worldwide accommodation and dining discounts with Accor plus half price staff meals & up to two free barista coffees a day
• Access to Accor training programs using industry-leading platforms
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program for overall wellbeing
• On-site car park available at a discounted rate
