Job Description

The Commis I supports the kitchen team with food preparation, cooking, plating, and maintaining clean, organized work areas. Typical requirements include basic culinary training or relevant kitchen experience, knowledge of food hygiene and safety, physical stamina, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure. The successful candidate is expected to follow recipes and chef instructions, maintain consistent food quality, control portion sizes, reduce waste, and cooperate with colleagues across kitchen sections. Flexibility is important, as the role involves shifts, weekends, and public holidays.

Company Info

Marriott International is one of the world's largest hospitality companies, operating a broad portfolio of hotels and resorts across luxury, premium, and select-service brands. The company is recognized for its structured training, global career opportunities, guest-focused service culture, and established standards for operational quality. Marriott properties typically provide employees with benefits such as staff meals, uniforms, learning programs, accommodation or housing support in resort locations, and access to employee travel rates, depending on the property and contract. Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa is associated with the Perhentian Islands in Terengganu, Malaysia, an area known for beaches, coral reefs, and marine tourism. Working there would likely involve a fast-paced seasonal resort environment, close teamwork, multicultural guests, and a strong focus on hospitality, food safety, and memorable island experiences.

Destination Guide

Malaysia offers hospitality opportunities on islands such as Perhentian, Langkawi, Penang, Redang, and Tioman, particularly in hotels, restaurants, diving centers, wellness, housekeeping, and guest services. Perhentian has a relaxed tropical lifestyle, clear water, snorkeling, diving, beach activities, and a small community atmosphere. Facilities and transport are more limited than on the mainland, and supplies may depend on boat transfers. Local culture is welcoming and predominantly Malay Muslim, so modest dress away from beaches and respect for religious customs are important. International employees generally need an employer-sponsored employment pass or relevant work authorization before starting work; the employer normally handles the application process. Candidates should confirm accommodation, meals, medical coverage, contract length, transport, and seasonal operating arrangements. Relocation requires planning for flights to Kuala Terengganu, onward ground transport, and a boat transfer to the island.
