Driven by an ambitious renovation and development program (care center, beach restaurant, new units), the lodge strengthens its management team and recruits its Technical Manager.

Candidate profile
A seasoned technician and a true Swiss Army Knife, you have at least five years of experience in technical maintenance, ideally acquired in hotels, resorts or lodges, where the customer’s requirement leaves no room for approximation.
Your versatility is real and proven in the field: you work with the same ease on an electrical panel, a leak, air conditioning, a cold room, a generator or a pool pump, and you know how to carry out small building works.

Finally, you have a sense of service: discreet and courteous to guests, you understand that within a lodge, the technique must be invisible for the experience to be perfect.
