Waiter/Waitress Assistant

Something special was born in the heart of Porto — and we want to continue building it with you.

Located next to Super Bock Arena, the 4-star 705 O’Porto Hotel has opened its doors, bringing with it a new concept of hospitality: excellence, authenticity, and a level of service that can be felt from the very first to the very last moment of every stay.

As the hotel enters a phase of consolidation and operational growth, this is a unique opportunity to join a young and expanding project — helping to strengthen a team, a culture, and an identity that are already beginning to make their mark on Porto’s hospitality scene. We are looking for someone passionate about the art of hospitality, with a keen eye for detail and a desire to make their mark.
