Originally built in 1881, to provide accommodation to European settlers who came to bathe in the clear hot springs, it has grown into a complex spanning 75 hectares. Just ten minutes from the adventurous township of Taupo, Wairakei Resort now offers accommodation of 187 rooms, a 200-seated restaurant, and a 130 spaced house-bar. Our sports facility includes tennis, basketball, and football. Our two naturally heated pools offer all year-round enjoyment. We have a newly renovated gym and squash court, and our 9-hole golf course will reopen in September for the summer season.
It takes a lot to keep this property operating, and to ensure we can keep on top of future growth we are looking for an all-rounder in the hospitality industry who is looking to take their career to the next level.
As an Assistant Operations Manager, you will join our in-house development programme where you will be exposed to all the operational areas of this business, providing you with the foundation to accelerate your career ambitions.
This position sits across our key departments: Food and Beverage, Conferencing and Banquets, Housekeeping, and Front Office , providing guest-facing services as well as involvement in the operational requirements.
You will be familiar with the industry and ideally have had a successful introduction to people management and robust business practices. Your approach will be guest-centric with a down-to-earth personal touch. You will be hands-on and willing to muck in with a natural drive of wanting to learn every aspect of this business, demonstrating confidence under pressure with an underlying dose of business acumen and professional communication.
If you want to work with a bunch of people who enjoy their working day, know how to have a giggle when required, and can deliver under pressure, then this could well be the next logical step in your hospitality career.
We will be accepting applications from those with at least 3 years' experience in the industry who can demonstrate the requirements listed above and understand the seven-day nature of our business.
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
