Build. Fix. Improve. Take ownership.
We're opening our newest luxury retreat on the coast at Dunbar, and we're looking for one exceptional, hands‑on person to run it.
This isn’t a clipboard job.
This is for someone who enjoys building things, solving problems, working outdoors and taking real pride in creating somewhere incredible for guests.
The first few months will be hard graft as we transform the site into the Coorie Retreats standard. After that it becomes a varied, rewarding role with plenty of autonomy and flexibility.
