Work environment

Large hotel with major banquet and restaurant operations in CDMX. Commercial refrigeration at events scale — one of the highest-volume refrigeration environments in Mexican hospitality.

About the role

A hotel that serves 800-person galas in Polanco depends on walk-in coolers that held temperature through 72 hours of pre-event food preparation. The refrigeration technician who maintained that cold chain — who caught the condenser temperature trending up three days before the event and cleaned the coil before it became a problem — enabled a service that the hotel's reputation depends on. That contribution is invisible and essential.
