Chef De Partie

Chef de Partie wanted – summer season at Huka Lodge, Taupō

Looking for a summer job somewhere special? Huka Lodge is one of New Zealand’s most iconic luxury lodges, set in beautiful gardens on the banks of the Waikato River just outside Taupō. We’re looking for a Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team for the summer season, running through until April.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be a key part of the kitchen, cooking for guests from all over the world and working with some amazing local produce from across the Central North Island. Day to day, that means food prep, stock control and storage, and keeping the kitchen clean and safe.

What we’re after

• Chef trade qualifications
• Solid experience in high-quality or fine dining kitchens
• Someone organised who can prioritise and work to a schedule
• A sharp eye for detail and presentation
• A real passion for creative, innovative food
• Lodge or resort experience is a big plus
• A valid working holiday visa or NZ work rights

Why come to Taupō?

Summer here is hard to beat – lake swims, Huka Falls just up the road, and the Tongariro Alpine Crossing a short drive away for your days off.

We’re also part of Beckons Lodges, a collection of nine luxury lodges across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Chile. So if you love it here, there’s plenty of scope to keep travelling and working with us – your career path is limited only by your imagination (and your passport).
