Are you passionate about delivering exceptional experiences?
Do you enjoy creating 'out of this world' experiences for others?
Are you keen for a new challenge where you can make your mark on a world class tourism development?
Are you looking for an opportunity to work for Ngāi Tahu Tourism, one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa?
We are looking for an Kaiārahi Aroraki - Astronomy Day Guide - to join our team of guides. Someone who is a star gazer at heart and wants to share and develop their passion and help us connect manuhiri (visitors) to our stars, our place and culture through the art of storytelling. This is a unique opportunity to start your new career in Astronomy tourism and train alongside a team of highly professional and dedicated guides.
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 manuhiri visiting 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:
- Is passionate about providing exceptional customer experiences
- Has some knowledge of Astronomy (a willingness to learn is a must), and ideally someone who has some knowledge on how to operate a telescope
- Enjoys breathing life into our experiences through clever storytelling
- Is competent in and has excellent pronunciation of te reo Māori
- Stays cool under pressure and is able to multi-task
- Is able to work shifts on weekdays, weekends and public holidays
Anything could happen in a day - and we need someone who isn't afraid of a long and varied to-do list!

Interested in joining us?
Aside from being an awesome place to work we offer competitive remuneration, excellent training and work uniforms. 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?
If you're a star that shines as brightly as those our manuhiri star gaze at, then apply now! We will be assessing applications as they arrive.
