Pool Technician — Colonial Hotel & Hacienda

Responsibilities

• Maintain colonial hotel pool in Mérida's historic center: central courtyard pool or rooftop pool, daily chemistry and cleaning
• Maintain hacienda pool on regular site visits: traditional large hacienda pool, possibly cenote-adjacent water feature
• Manage summer high-UV chemistry adjustment — Yucatán's UV index is among the highest in Mexico; chlorine degrades faster and cyanuric acid stabilizer management is essential
• Service pool equipment across both properties: pumps, filters, automated dosing where installed
• Maintain water cooling features where installed — some Mérida properties circulate cooled water to provide a refreshing pool experience in extreme heat
• Travel between Mérida city property and hacienda on scheduled weekly basis

Requirements

• Pool maintenance experience; hot-climate pool chemistry management knowledge
• High-UV pool chemistry management (cyanuric acid stabilization)
• Driving license for inter-property travel
• Heat tolerance for outdoor pool maintenance work in Mérida's summer

Benefits

• IMSS, aguinaldo, paid vacation + premium
• Inter-property transport provided
• Cold water and drinks during the shift
• Staff canteen available at both properties

Work environment

Colonial boutique hotel in Mérida plus hacienda hotel outside the city. Pool maintenance across two distinct historic property settings in the Yucatán's extreme climate.

About the role

In Mérida's July heat, the hotel pool is not an amenity — it's the reason guests stay in the hotel. When a guest arrives from a morning at the Anthropology Museum at 1 p.m. in 43°C heat and slides into a pool that's crystal clear and perfectly maintained, the pool technician has delivered exactly what that guest needed most. That is the entire purpose of the role.
