General Maintenance Technician — Eco Properties

Responsibilities

• Maintain sustainable-property systems: solar panels (cleaning and connection checks), rainwater collection tanks, composting systems

• Coordinate with ownership on maintenance approaches that align with sustainability certifications

Requirements

• Maintenance experience in eco, jungle, or open-air property environments preferred
• Comfort with sustainable systems: solar, rainwater, composting
• Practical hands-on approach — eco properties often require creative problem-solving with limited materials
• Genuine interest in sustainable hospitality practices

Benefits

• IMSS, aguinaldo, paid vacation + premium
• Organic canteen meals
• Staff housing available (subject to availability)
• Training in sustainability systems

Work environment

Eco boutique hotel in the jungle near Playa del Carmen. Unique maintenance environment requiring an adaptive, sustainability-conscious approach.

About the role

Eco hotel maintenance isn't just a different type of building — it's a different philosophy. When something breaks, you ask: can this be repaired rather than replaced? Can the replacement be sourced locally? Can the repair method leave less waste? The maintenance technician who thinks this way naturally is genuinely rare, and eco properties pay to keep them.
