Fontanero - InterContinental Abu Dhabi

The Plumber at InterContinental Abu Dhabi is responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining plumbing systems throughout the hotel. This includes ensuring that all plumbing systems (water, sewage, heating, etc.) are functional, safe, and compliant with relevant codes and regulations, while delivering a high standard of service to both internal and external customers.

A little taste of your day-to-day:

• Perform routine inspections and maintenance of plumbing systems (water, waste, and drainage) in guest rooms, public areas, kitchens, restrooms, and other hotel facilities. Repair leaks, faulty fixtures, and blocked drains.
• Install new plumbing systems such as pipes, faucets, toilets, sinks, showers, and water heaters according to hotel needs and safety regulations.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot plumbing issues, including leaks, blockages, low water pressure, and malfunctioning equipment, and resolve them efficiently.
• Respond promptly to emergency plumbing issues, especially in guest areas or hotel operations, to minimize guest inconvenience.
• Conduct routine inspections to identify potential plumbing issues and perform preventative maintenance to extend system lifespan and reduce breakdowns.
• Ensure all plumbing work complies with local codes, hotel safety regulations, and industry standards while maintaining a clean and safe work environment.
• Monitor and manage water system efficiency, addressing wastage and promoting water conservation throughout the hotel.
• Keep accurate records of all maintenance and repairs, including materials used and time spent, and report major issues to the Engineering Manager or Chief Engineer.
• Collaborate with other engineering team members and departments to ensure smooth hotel operations and assist in coordinating maintenance schedules with minimal disruption.
• Address plumbing issues in guest rooms or public spaces swiftly and discreetly to ensure high guest satisfaction and hotel standards.
