Roadhouse Development Manager & Hospitality Attendant

Roadhouse Development Manager & Hospitality Attendant | Couple Opportunity | Dunmarra NT

Looking for a change of pace and the opportunity to make a remote roadhouse your own? We are looking for practical, reliable and down-to-earth people to join the team at Dunmarra Roadhouse in the Northern Territory.

Dunmarra Roadhouse has operated for more than 50 years and is now entering an exciting new chapter, with plans for a complete restoration into a modern facility hub featuring state-of-the-art equipment. You will join at the beginning and have the opportunity to help shape the operation, customer experience and culture as the new Dunmarra comes to life.

We have two opportunities available:

Dunmarra Roadhouse Development Manager

Roadhouse Hospitality Attendant

These roles would ideally suit a couple looking for the opportunity to work together in a remote location, however individual applications are also welcome.

Dunmarra is a hands-on operation encompassing fuel, meals, accommodation, hospitality and customer service. We are looking for people who enjoy being part of a small team, are comfortable working remotely and take pride in creating a welcoming and well-run environment.

Roadhouse Manager

As the Roadhouse Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day operation of Dunmarra while playing a key role in its transformation. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity to help build the operation from the ground up, influence how the restored facility will run and create a destination people want to return to. The role covers people, customers, stakeholders, suppliers, accommodation, food and beverage operations, compliance and financial controls.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading the day-to-day operation of the roadhouse

Building strong relationships with local stakeholders, surrounding stations and the community

Leading and supporting the roadhouse team

Overseeing fuel, accommodation, food and beverage operations

Managing suppliers, contractors and stock requirements

Maintaining appropriate operational and financial controls

Ensuring high standards of presentation and customer service

Maintaining compliance across licensed and general operations

Supporting safety and emergency preparedness in a remote environment

Previous experience managing a remote hospitality, roadhouse, accommodation, camp or similar operation would be highly regarded.

Roadhouse Hospitality Attendant

Working alongside the Roadhouse Manager and broader team, the Roadhouse Hospitality Attendant will have a strong focus on meal preparation, food service and kitchen operations, while also supporting the broader day-to-day operation of the roadhouse.

Key responsibilities include:

Preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner as required

Planning and preparing meals for workers, visitors and customers

Maintaining high food safety and kitchen hygiene standards

Monitoring food and kitchen stock levels

Assisting with ordering and receiving deliveries

Minimising food waste and maintaining appropriate stock rotation

Providing friendly customer service

Assisting with counter service and general roadhouse duties

Maintaining clean and well-presented customer and dining areas

Supporting the wider team wherever required

Previous experience in hospitality, catering, roadhouses, remote camps or similar environments would be highly regarded. The role requires someone confident preparing meals independently who understands safe food handling and is comfortable living and working remotely.

A great opportunity for a couple

If you and your partner have complementary backgrounds in management, hospitality, catering, tourism, accommodation, remote camps or customer service, this could be a great opportunity to take on a new challenge together.

We're particularly interested in a couple where one person has the capability to take ownership of the roadhouse operation and the other enjoys hospitality and preparing good, practical meals.

Not a couple? No problem. We welcome individual applications for either position.

Interested?

If you're looking for something different and enjoy the lifestyle and challenges that come with working in a remote environment, we'd love to hear from you.
