Job Description
The Whakapapa whānau are a small but ambitious team, running year-round operations on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu. In winter, from June until October, this includes a world-class ski area. In summer, from December until April, this includes our summer sightseeing operation, heroing our iconic Sky Waka gondola. Each year we welcome hundreds of thousands of manuhiri (guests) to Whakapapa, many with life-long connections to the maunga (mountain) and surrounding region, some even third or fourth generation.
Mō te tūnga | About the role

As a member of the team at Whakapapa, you will create an empowering learning experience that keeps our manuhiri (guests) coming back and enjoying this winter playground year in and year out.

Have fun while doing it!
We are seeking interest for casual, part-time and full-time employees for this seasonal opportunity (June to October). Note - part-time employees would be rostered 8-30 hours per week, and full-time 30 plus hours per week (Monday to Sunday).
