Chartwells Higher Education is hiring an energetic Catering & Banquet Manager, on the campus of NEW MEXICO TECH!As a key leader on the Chartwells Food Service team, you will manage the planning and execution of all catering events. You will build excellent client rapport and ensure the catering offered to our guests is of outstanding quality.
Socorro, New Mexico offers you a rare mix of striking desert‑front scenery, a strong sense of community, and enough cultural and outdoor variety to keep you inspired. You’ll find yourself exploring dramatic canyons and trails in nearby San Lorenzo or Box Canyon, meandering the scenic Quebradas Back Country Byway, or ducking into Escondida Lake Park for fishing, picnics, and quiet time with nature. Stargazing is practically a hobby, especially when you visit the observatory on the New Mexico Tech campus or take a nighttime drive near the Very Large Array just outside town. The local arts scene is alive with galleries, theater events, and the annual Festival of the Cranes. If you love food, Socorro’s small-town restaurants lean hard into New Mexican flavor—with standout green chile cheeseburgers, regional staples, and creative cafés peppered around the historic plaza and at the farmers’ market. Fresh produce, baked goods, artisanal crafts, and chile roasting happen seasonally at the Socorro Farmers’ Market. Socorro gives you wide‑open skies, a warm cultural pulse, accessible nature, and a food scene rooted in local identity—yet still small enough to feel like home.
