ABOUT FAIRLANE HOTEL

Fairlane Hotel is seeking a Facilities Supervisor to provide hands-on, shift-level leadership across our Engineering and Housekeeping departments. The Facilities Supervisor directs staff, manages work orders and room assignments, handles administrative duties for both departments, and maintains property standards throughout the hotel.

This role carries full responsibility across both Engineering and Housekeeping, and both are equally central to its success.
