Maintenance Technician — Convention Hotel

Responsibilities

• Maintain all hotel building systems in a large convention property: rooms, ballrooms, pre-function areas, loading docks
• Manage event setup and breakdown maintenance support — temporary electrical connections, rigging point inspections, staging infrastructure checks
• Maintain the property's extensive ballroom lighting and sound infrastructure (in-house systems; AV contractors bring their own)
• Handle high-volume HVAC demand management during large convention occupancy
• Coordinate with the events team on load-in and load-out schedules to avoid maintenance conflicts
• Conduct structural and ceiling inspections before major events in large ballrooms

Requirements

• Hotel maintenance experience; convention or event venue background strongly preferred
• Knowledge of temporary electrical distribution for events
• Physical fitness for event-period demands — large conventions require extended hours
• Flexible availability around convention calendar — peak demand does not follow standard shift patterns

Benefits

• IMSS, aguinaldo, paid vacation + premium
• Compensated overtime during events
• Staff canteen
• Grocery vouchers MXN 850/month

Work environment

Convention hotel adjacent to Expo Guadalajara — one of Latin America's largest convention centers. Maintenance demand surges dramatically during major events.

About the role

Convention hotel maintenance is unpredictable in the best way. You might spend Tuesday doing routine rounds, and by Thursday you're setting up temporary power for a 3,000-person trade show. The technician who can shift between disciplined preventive maintenance and rapid event-support response — without losing quality on either — is the one every convention hotel wants to keep.
