Part-Time Maintenance Assistant

Be you. At work.

Here at Locke, we create spaces where you can be you – and we don’t just mean our design-led aparthotels. From front desk to back office, on-the-ground to behind-the-scenes, our team makes Locke what it is. Forget demographics: we’re building a community of the culturally curious. The forward-thinking. The ever-questioning.
