Maintenance Supervisor Job Severin Sea Lodge
In this role you keep the camp running safely and quietly: power, water, guest areas, and plant stay reliable in a remote bush setting.

Tasks
- Lead daily maintenance so guest areas, plant, and camp infrastructure stay reliable.
- Plan and follow a preventive maintenance routine; reduce recurring breakdowns.
- Brief, coach, and allocate technicians; keep the workshop organised and the team fully occupied.
- Respond quickly to job requests, especially guest-facing faults, and close them with clear follow-through.
- Keep power, water, and backup systems available around the clock.
- Coordinate with other departments so repairs do not disrupt the guest stay.
- Protect tools, stock, and company property; keep records and end-of-shift reporting accurate.
- Enforce safety, hygiene, and a professional presence in guest areas.
Requirements
- At least 3 years in hotel, lodge, or safari-camp maintenance, including at least 1 year supervising technicians.
- Proven ability to run a full maintenance shift and a preventive maintenance plan.
- Hands-on skill across electrical, plumbing, and general building/plant maintenance, including generators.
- Fluent English, spoken and written.
- Willing to live in at camp, work rotating shifts (including weekends, public holidays, and call-outs), and follow a rotational leave pattern.
- Calm under pressure, guest-first, and reliable on standards, safety, and integrity.
Nice to have: safari camp or luxury lodge experience; solar / PV systems; vehicle maintenance; a relevant trade certificate or diploma.
Benefits
- Work in a renowned luxury safari camp inside Tsavo West National Park.
- A real supervisory seat: you own day-to-day maintenance for the camp.
- Close collaboration with camp leadership in a small, high-standard team.
- Career growth within Severin Hotels.
