Company
Description

Darwin is a city unlike anywhere else in Australia.
Stunning harbour sunsets, world class markets, a thriving food and bar scene,
and a gateway to some of the country's most extraordinary landscapes including
Kakadu, Litchfield and the Tiwi Islands.

It's a place where lifestyle
and career can genuinely coexist, and for the right person, it's a change worth
making. At the heart of it all, Novotel, Mercure and ibis Darwin Airport
Resorts
are in the middle of an exciting transformation. Airport
Development Group has invested $25 million to create a world class destination,
with major upgrades across accommodation, dining and events, all set within
newly landscaped tropical gardens that capture the spirit of the Top
End.

As part of the global Accor network with over 5,700 hotels across 110
countries, we are guided by a clear purpose: pioneering the art of responsible
hospitality, connecting cultures with heartfelt care.

Here, you don't just
work in hospitality. You become a Heartist.
