Work environment

Eco resort on the Riviera Maya/Tulum corridor with significant renewable energy investment. Technical senior role at the intersection of hotel electrical and sustainable energy systems.

About the role

Renewable energy systems in hospitality are still a specialty — most hotel electricians have never worked with a 200kW solar array. The electrician who develops this expertise now is positioning themselves at the front edge of where the industry is moving. In ten years, every major resort will have solar; the technicians who know it now will be training the ones who don't.
