Technically sound across all major engineering disciplines, particularly HVAC, mechanical systems, and refrigeration
Solid planning and resource management skills in environments with limited logistical access
Computer-literate with good business awareness and reporting ability
Friendly, engaging personality with a good sense of humour—able to relate well to international guests
Fluent in English and an excellent communicator
Holds formal engineering qualifications and demonstrates stable career history
What’s On Offer:
Salary: US$30,000
Single status contract
On-site accommodation provided
Medical insurance
Annual return flight
This is a rewarding position for someone ready to take on a leadership role in a vibrant, challenging, and culturally rich environment. If you’re passionate about resort operations and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
