About the Role

If you love the energy of the wharf, thrive on logistics, and genuinely enjoy creating exceptional experiences for guests, then this is your role! If you have a sharp eye for detail, a passion for customer service, and the ability to wear many hats, then we want to hear from you!

This is a hands‑on role based at Oban Wharf where no two days are the same. You will be at the heart of our ferry operations, managing vessel interactions, keeping a close eye on manifests, coordinating departures, and ensuring everything runs smoothly as ferries come and go from the island.

You will be multi‑skilled, easily transitioning from wharf duties and logistics to engaging with guests, informing and assisting them with their itineraries, building genuine relationships, and inspiring them with the very best experiences Rakiura has to offer. Selling activities and excursions is part of what you do, but it is your warmth, local knowledge, and proactive nature that will set you apart...
