About the Role

This role is part of the Housekeeping & Laundry function at Le Méridien in Lusail, Qatar. It is a full-time, on-site position at the non-management level.

What You’ll Do

You will oversee the quality of cleaned guest rooms, public areas, pool areas, and other spaces to make sure they meet brand standards. You’ll review sold-room reports, confirm room status, identify mismatches, prioritize cleaning tasks, and keep track of rooms being vacated. You’ll also support the housekeeping leadership team with day-to-day operations.

The role involves acting as a coordination point between Housekeeping, Engineering, Front Office, and Laundry so that tasks are completed smoothly. You will log and help resolve room-status issues with the Front Desk, prepare room assignment updates, share changes with the next shift, and complete required documentation.

The position requires strict compliance with company, safety, and security procedures. You must report maintenance concerns, safety risks, accidents, and injuries, and complete any required safety training or certifications. You are expected to present a professional appearance, protect confidential information, safeguard company property, and deliver warm, standards-based service to guests. This includes greeting guests appropriately, responding to service needs, supporting guests with disabilities, and thanking guests sincerely.

You will need to communicate clearly and professionally, maintain strong working relationships, listen well, and respond constructively to colleague concerns while meeting quality expectations.

Physical and Technical Requirements
