Mō tātou, āa, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei - for us and our children after us.

• Are you passionate about delivering ’out of this world’ kai (food)?
• 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 looking for an experienced Chef de Partie/ Kaitunu tuarua to join our passionate F&B team in our Dark Sky Diner.

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 customers and our team as our own whānau.
