Work environment

Colonial boutique in Guadalajara's historic center — one of Mexico's most complete surviving colonial streetscapes. The building itself is part of the guest experience.

About the role

Working in a building that's been standing since 1890 means you're maintaining something that was built before any electrical system was installed — every wire ran later, every pipe was added to a structure that didn't plan for it. Understanding that history makes you a better maintenance technician in any building.
