• Taking ownership of the operation when the Site Manager is not on site.

You’re an experienced hospitality professional who takes pride in what you do and enjoys being part of a team. You’ll ideally have:

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships at all levels.


• A proactive, positive and solutions\-focused approach.


• A keen eye for detail and a commitment to getting things right.


• A hands\-on attitude and the willingness to lead from the front.

This is an opportunity to develop your career in premium workplace hospitality, with exposure to café operations, events, conferences, client relationships and team leadership.

You’ll be joining a team where great hospitality is about more than what’s on the menu \- it’s about creating experiences that people remember.
