Porter in Hobart, Australia

The moment a guest steps into one of our hotels, they walk into a genuinely memorable experience. As a Porter you’ll respond to guest requests and enquiries to

ensure complete guest satisfaction.

You will assist them by taking their luggage and handing them over to the Concierge or directing them to reception and the Guest Services Agents. You will offer valet

parking and drive their car safely to a nearby carpark, hastening back to greet the next guest.

Day to Day:

• Make sure our guests always get a warm welcome and a sincere farewell

• Help the team – you are always around to help your teammates and share the workload

• Support any needs at the door while ensuring the lobby area looks great

• Deliver a memorable experience to guests with a swift and personal service – not forgetting to recognise and record guest preferences

• Resolve guest issues and use their feedback to improve guest satisfaction

• Valet park guest cars safely and efficiently into our booked carparks

• Escort guests to their rooms with luggage in a professional manner following our brand standards
