Property caretaker - practical work, maintenance and travel

Do you enjoy practical work, solving problems and having a job where no two days are the same?
SwedBNB is looking for a responsible, curious and practical person to help us look after our properties around Sweden.
This is a varied and independent role for someone who enjoys freedom with responsibility, likes travelling and can adapt quickly when plans change.
You do not need any specific education or previous experience in property maintenance. The most important things to us are that you are reliable, thorough, solution-oriented and willing to learn.
About SwedBNB and the role
SwedBNB works with short-term rentals of properties around Sweden. Among other things, we are responsible for ensuring that the properties are clean, well maintained, working as they should and ready for our guests.
As a property caretaker, you will visit our properties to carry out inspections, basic maintenance, cleaning and other practical tasks.
The work is mainly based in the Stockholm area, but also involves travelling to our properties in other parts of Sweden. Sometimes you will need to stay overnight and be away for several days in a row, for example to visit several properties in the same area during a working week.
To a large extent, you will plan your own work within your working hours. At the same time, you need to be flexible, as tasks and priorities may change at short notice.
You will work closely with our Director of Operations, our cleaning teams and the colleagues responsible for guest communications.
Your duties
Visit and inspect properties using our checklists, for example checking cleaning, condition, equipment and consumables.
Carry out basic repairs and maintenance, such as assembling furniture, changing light bulbs, repairing minor damage and painting when needed.
Help with cleaning when needed, for example cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, vacuuming, changing bed linen and preparing properties for guests' arrival.
Purchase, deliver and replenish bed linen, towels, consumables and other equipment.
Check and troubleshoot minor problems with locks, keys, household appliances and other equipment.
Meet and communicate with cleaning staff, tradespeople and other suppliers.
Carry out basic seasonal work, such as raking leaves and clearing snow.
Document completed work, report problems and follow up on tasks in our digital systems.
Contribute ideas and suggestions for improvements to help us develop our procedures and ways of working.

You will receive an introduction to our properties, systems and working procedures. Larger or more advanced repairs are carried out by qualified tradespeople.
