Job description

Atura Oran Park will bring a fresh, urban lifestyle experience to the heart of Southwestern Sydney. With design-led accommodation, expansive meetings and conferencing facilities, an outdoor pool and terrace and a locally inspired restaurant and bar, the hotel’s prime location will offer visitors and locals unparalleled access to one of the region’s most dynamic destinations.

Its prime location overlooking the Oran Park Town Centre and surrounding parklands, and proximity to the new Western Sydney Airport, will make it the ideal setting for social connection, work and play. This will be a place to actively engage the neighbourhood, creating a sense of belonging for locals and travellers alike.

Key Responsibilities

One moment you're plating handmade pasta for a full Italian dining room, the next you're leading a team through a conference lunch, and then straight into perfecting the IRD menu. No two shifts look the same, and that's exactly the point.
