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

Looking for an opportunity to work for Ngāi Tahu Tourism, one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa? Then how about joining the dynamic and passionate team at the world-renowned Dark Sky Project at Lake Takapo?


We're looking for a Barista to join our food and beverage team in our "out of this world", Astro Cafe.

This role will be responsible for preparing coffee and light snacks to our varied customers, ensuring hygiene and cleanliness at all times, as well as providing an exceptional customer experience.


Our world-class Astronomy centre on Takapō lakefront, as well our Astro Café located at the top of Mt John offering spectacular views, bring 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 complements 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.

A little bit about you

We're after someone who has:

  • Previous hospitality or customer service experience
  • Min 12 months barista experience
  • Experience with cash handling, stock control and ordering
  • Works well in a team
  • Stays cool under pressure
  • Able to work shifts on weekdays, weekends and public holidays between 8.30am 6pm
  • Full drivers' licence and reliable vehicle (preferred)
Anything could happen in a day - and we need someone who isn't afraid of a long and varied to-do list

Want to find out a little bit more about us?


Dark Sky Project is a fun, unique and safe place to work and we'd like to keep it that way.

Before starting with us, you'll go through a range of checks, including drug and alcohol testing.

Health and safety is super important and this is part of how we keep you, our team and our customers safe.

Keen?
