Job Level: Management

Employer: Severin Sea Lodge

Industry: Engineering

Salary: Open

Location: Nairobi

Country: Kenya

Deadline: 30/09/2026

In this role you keep the camp running safely and quietly: power, water, guest areas, and plant stay reliable in a remote bush setting. You lead the maintenance team, fix issues before guests feel them, and work closely with Operations, Housekeeping, and F&B. This is a live-in role with rotational leave.

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.
  • Competitive live-in package aligned with experience, including rotational leave.
