The AHM will need a keen eye for detail, have experience with maintaining interiors residences or superyachts but also be interested in being involved with the coordinating of high-end events.

The role will largely be Monday to Friday , 8:30am-4:30pm , but with flexibility to work some weekends if events are scheduled.
