Lake Takapō/ Mackenzie District
Are you passionate about delivering 'out of this world' customer service?
Keen for a new challenge where you can make your mark on a world class tourism development?
Looking for an opportunity to work for Ngāi Tahu Tourism, one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa?
We're on the hunt for a Customer Service and Retail Assistant / Kaiāwhina Kiritaki me te Hokohoko - a helpful, friendly person who doesn't mind pitching in to get the job done. If you're looking for a varied role that will involve working across customer service, with some retail, then this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for!
Our world-class Astronomy Centre on Takapō lakefront brings to life the science of stars and Tātai aroraki (Māori astronomy) through an immersive and engaging international experience. This experience is a world-first and compliments the range of outdoor experiences that we currently offer to our domestic and international visitors to the region.
Our purpose is to make the connection - with our customers, through our people, to our place and to Ngāi Tahu.
We take great pride in warmly welcoming manuhiri to our experiences. Manaakitanga (hospitality) is one of the core values that drives the way we do business. As hosts, we care for our manuhiri and our team as our own whānau.
