We have been open for over a week already and have had a great start to the season!
Spring is an amazing time of year to come canyoning with us. Enjoy a day out in the Abel Tasman National Park, before the hustle and bustle of summer. The water flows are juicy and the weather is amazing, making it the perfect conditions for canyoning!
We are on the hunt for an all round superstar to manage the place. Job starts in October/November 2019, it is a full-on position during the summer season, and there is a potential for ongoing part-time employment during the off season.
How to get this job? Look through our website and familiarise yourself with what we do, our values, our culture etc, then have a look at the job description below, and then ask yourself a few questions: Does this look like a business I want to manage? Would I like to work in one of the coolest industries? Would I want to live in the extraordinary Nelson-Tasman region? Have I got what it takes? Am I willing to work hard over summer and keep things ticking along over winter? Am I willing to pour my heart and soul into it? And then, send us your amazing application with a Cover Letter and CV, and then cross your fingers and toes. It’s as simple as that.
Applications close on Friday the 13th of September 2019.
