Work environment

Multi-property eco boutique hotels on the Riviera Maya corridor. Sustainable HVAC maintenance role across varied property types and cooling philosophies.

About the role

Eco properties have a different relationship with air conditioning than conventional hotels — cooling is used deliberately, not universally. The HVAC technician who understands and respects that philosophy, who maintains the selective cooling systems efficiently so the property can deliver comfort in the rooms that need it while maintaining its sustainability credentials, is a partner in the property's mission rather than just a maintenance contractor.
