Ensure compliance with Health Safety regulations and uphold responsibilities under the Health Safety at Work Act. Be fully familiar with the hotel's Fire Safety Procedures and champion safety for guests and team members.

Proven leadership experience managing diverse teams and external contractors. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively. Financial acumen with experience managing budgets and projects within tight deadlines.
