About the Property

Pismo Beach Club is a 20-room boutique hotel steps from the beach, operated by Maza Hospitality. We run

a small, tight team, and a well-kept property is a big part of what guests remember. Coastal air is hard on

buildings, so steady upkeep matters here more than most places.

Position Summary

The Maintenance Technician keeps Pismo Beach Club safe, working, and looking its best, handling

everything from a dripping faucet to a full room refresh. This is a hands-on, self-directed role: you will work

through a prioritized list of repairs and preventive tasks each visit, fix what you can yourself, and know when

to call in a licensed vendor.

You will start each shift with a walkthrough and the open work-order list from the Hotel Supervisor, then work

through it with minimal oversight. The right candidate takes pride in leaving things better than they found

them and doesn't need to be told twice what "done right" looks like.

We are a small team, and this role will go beyond the duties listed here. When maintenance work is

complete, the Maintenance Technician is expected to assist housekeeping and help keep public areas clean

and guest-ready.
