Work environment

Multi-property boutique hotel group in CDMX historic neighborhoods. Heritage electrical work across multiple sites with varying construction eras and challenges.

About the role

CDMX's colonial center has buildings where you can find three generations of electrical wiring in the same wall — original 1920s knob-and-tube underneath 1960s conduit underneath modern cable. Understanding that history, tracing it safely, and modernizing it without damaging the building requires more skill than any new construction electrical job. And the buildings themselves are extraordinary.
