London, United Kingdom Montcalm Collection Full time

Head of Technical Services



Montcalm Collection – Precis Properties



United by timeless style and peerless service,
Montcalm Collection is London’s compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant
Georgian townhouses, an 18th-century brewery, heritage headquarters and a
diamond-shaped skyscraper, each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city’s
story. The hotels in the collection include a storied city-slicker, housed in
the former headquarters of the Royal Mail: Montcalm Royal London House. A property
with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph
Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace: Inhabit,
Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.



 



The Head of Technical
Services plays a crucial role in overseeing the technical and maintenance
operations of our group of hotels in London. This leadership position is
responsible for ensuring the efficient and safe functioning of all facilities,
systems, and equipment within the hotels. The Head of Technical Services is
