About this job

Join the team at ActionZone Whangarei!

Do you have big energy, natural leadership skills, and love creating great experiences for people?

ActionZone is Northland's ultimate entertainment destination, bringing together tenpin bowling, laser tag, arcade games, pool, food and drinks all under one roof. We're looking for an enthusiastic Duty Manager to help lead our team and keep the fun rolling.

This is not a role where you'll stand behind a desk. You'll be leading by example, supporting customers, helping your team, serving food and drinks, running events, solving problems, and making sure every guest leaves with a smile. If you're willing to jump in wherever needed—even cleaning toilets when required—you could be exactly who we're looking for.

What You'll Be Doing • Leading shifts and supporting team members • Delivering exceptional customer service • Serving food and beverages • Assisting with food preparation • Supervising private functions, parties and events • Maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming venue • Supporting bowling, arcade and entertainment operations • Ensuring compliance with host responsibility requirements • Creating memorable experiences for customers of all ages

Hours • Approximately 30 hours per week • Typical shifts: 4.30pm – 9.30pm • Additional hours available for private events and functions • Some flexibility available for the right person, however weekend availability is essential

Bonus Points If You • Love gaming, arcades, bowling or entertainment venues • Have a bit of a nerdy side • Are technically minded and can troubleshoot minor issues • Bring big energy and a positive attitude • Have a playful personality and enjoy making work fun • Love being part of a team that doesn't take itself too seriously

Why You'll Love Working Here

At ActionZone, no two days are the same. One minute you're helping a birthday party, the next you're supporting a laser tag session, serving customers, or celebrating a strike on the bowling lanes. We're looking for someone who values teamwork, enjoys connecting with people, and isn't afraid to get involved wherever needed.

Don't fit the traditional Duty Manager mould?

Perfect.

If you don't fit in the box, you might fit our vibe.

Apply now and tell us why you'd be an awesome addition to the ActionZone team.
