• Select appropriate low-odor, fast-drying, guest-safe polishing paints and coatings based on surface type, usage, and desired appearance.
• Use painting and polishing equipment such as brushes, rollers, sprayers, and polishing machines safely, quietly, and with protective barriers in guest-facing areas.
• Apply polishing paints and coatings evenly and accurately to achieve a smooth, consistent, high-gloss or satin finish.
• Follow manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines when handling and applying polishing paints and coatings, prioritizing VOC-compliant and eco-friendly products.
• Inspect finished surfaces for quality and touch up scuffs, fingerprints, or minor damages immediately in public areas.
• Coordinate with other members of the engineering team to schedule PPM during off-peak hours and prioritize public area projects.
• Maintain a clean and organized work environment, including proper storage, disposal of materials, and protection of surrounding carpets/fixtures.
• Adhere to health, safety, and hygiene regulations while working near F&D, SPA, Guestrooms or Lobby areas.
• Communicate effectively with operation department, Front Office, Housekeeping, and F&D team regarding project progress, urgent touch-ups, and any issues encountered.
• Stay updated on new polishing techniques, luxury materials, and equipment to enhance skills and efficiency.https://jobs.hilton.com/apac/en/job/HOT0CKC8/Polisher-Waldorf-Astoria-Ras-Al-Khaimah
