THE HOXTON, EDINBURGH

We’ve opened our first UK hotel outside of London…and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for an experienced Maintenance Supervisor to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting with management of the maintenance team – supporting the maintenance of the hotel’s facilities and equipment, regulatory compliances and everything in between.
The Hox in Edinburgh boasts 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city (including the introduction of a new room category for the Hox), a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, a large event space and The Apartment - our unique meetings and events concept.

MORE ABOUT US…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
