The Gig
You’ll be the driving force behind three of our most-loved attractions. From managing mountain bike trails to ensuring food is hot and vendors are happy, you’ll be everywhere, and that’s exactly how you like it.
Your job: make sure every guest, whether on two wheels or two legs, has a lekker time.
Your Toolkit
Bike Park:
- Keep trails safe, fun, and ride-ready
- Host community rides, events & rentals
- Speak fluent bike (or at least fake it convincingly)
Family Market:
- Manage vendors like a backstage boss
- Bring in music, entertainment, good vibes
- Invent family-friendly magic on weekends
Restaurant (within the bike park):
- Keep the ‘food fresh, the coffee hot, and the guests smiling
- Support the kitchen, stock, and service teams
- Turn “hangry” into happy
Plus:
- Be a born leader, team motivator & spreadsheet whisperer
- Juggle rosters, suppliers, budgets & events — all while sipping a flat white
- Work closely with the estate’s other teams (marketing, events, maintenance, etc.)
- Champion sustainability, service excellence & the Blaauwklippen way
What You’ll Need
- 3–5 years of experience in hospitality, events, or venue management
- A multitasking brain and leadership swagger
- Bonus points for food & beverage experience
- Weekend & holiday availability (we don’t do “Monday to Friday vibes”)
- Love for the outdoors, bikes, food, wine, and people
- A valid driver’s license and the ability to handle a bit of mud
What You’ll Get
- A creative role on one of SA’s most historic wine estates
- A chance to build something epic from the ground up
- A supportive team and a job that doesn’t involve sitting still
- Salary that respects your hustle
- Perks like staff discounts, wine (obviously), and serious street cred
Salary is market related and based on experience
