Part-Time Porter Position Available!

Are you a hospitality enthusiast with a passion for creating unforgettable guest experiences? We're looking for a part-time Porter to join the Front Office team at Edgewater Lake Wānaka.

At Edgewater Lake Wānaka, we believe in providing our guests with more than just a stay – we offer a journey of relaxation, adventure, and a moment of peace and quiet. As a Porter, you'll be at the forefront of this mission. This position consists of helping guests with baggage and keeping the exterior of the hotel tidy, helping with the setup and pack down of events, lending a hand to different departments when required, and offering exceptional customer service to guests from the moment they arrive.

The position is part-time with a minimum of 24 hours per week, covering a morning shift 7.30am- 4pm or afternoon shift 2pm – 10pm, with a bit of flexibility. The ideal candidate must be physically fit (as this position requires some lifting), and previous Porter experience is preferred, but not required. You would be reliable, have strong attention to detail and a can-do attitude.

If this sounds like you and you are already in Wānaka, please apply by completing the Application for Employment, or email your cover letter and CV to our Head Porter Rob at [email protected]

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our Edgewater family.

Located in the heart of stunning Lake Wānaka, Edgewater offers a unique opportunity to work in a stunning mountain town. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced kitchen, and desires a flexible schedule, this could be the perfect role for you!

This position is full-time, working 4-5 days a week (30 – 40 hours), and requires you to be available for both weekends and public holidays. We offer flexible hours, with a mix of morning, day and evening shifts. Plus, weekend work allows you to hit the mountains or the bike park during the quieter weekdays.
