Maintenance Manager

HYDE Perth is preparing to make its grand debut – bringing the signature HYDE energy to the vibrant heart of Western Australia. This bold and stylish new opening will embody the spirit of the HYDE brand: luxurious yet laidback, sophisticated with a festival soul.

HYDE is embracing an evolved brand identity that is all about a festival vibe with music at its core. HYDE perfectly balances an elevated bohemian-chic aesthetic with a youthful, laidback ambience. The spaces are defined by vibrant colors and are designed to encourage serendipitous connections and new discoveries around every corner.  HYDE is all about the freedom and personal discovery that comes with great music, time with friends and connecting with something bigger.

As the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be a founding member of the HYDE Perth team, playing a pivotal role in preparing the property for a successful and safe opening. You’ll be responsible for implementing and overseeing all systems, processes, and safety protocols to ensure the building operates flawlessly from day one—and continues to deliver excellence every day thereafter.
