Kampala Marriott Hotel is part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hotel companies, operating under the Marriott Hotels brand. The brand’s promise to guests is “Wonderful Hospitality. Always.”, and every associate, from finance to engineering, is expected to deliver thoughtful, professional service.

Marriott describes itself as an equal opportunity employer that values associates’ backgrounds and offers training and development across its global network. Working at its Kampala property gives you international brand standards and processes while serving guests in Uganda’s capital.

This Hotel Painter keeps the property looking its best. You will paint, stain and finish walls, ceilings and furniture using brushes, spray guns or rollers, apply primers and sealers to new surfaces, and strip old finishes by sanding, wire brushing, burning or abrasive blasting. Protecting surfaces, posting paint signs and coordinating with vendors on colour changes are part of each job.
