As part of the Marriott brand, it is expected to follow international standards for guest service, food safety, operational consistency and employee professionalism.

The resort’s location in northern Borneo also gives staff exposure to a multicultural workplace and guests from Malaysia and overseas.

Working in Malaysia

Miri is in Sarawak on the Malaysian side of Borneo, rather than on a separate island. It is known for beaches, nearby nature attractions, national parks and a relaxed lifestyle that is generally less expensive than Kuala Lumpur. Hospitality work is available in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events and tourism, with additional opportunities in energy and services. Sarawak offers a multicultural environment, and English is commonly used in hotels alongside Malay and local languages. Employees should expect warm, humid weather, varied cuisine and a slower-paced city lifestyle. Foreign nationals normally need an employment pass or appropriate work permit arranged and sponsored by the employer; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, meals, medical coverage, flights and relocation assistance before accepting an offer. Miri has an airport, shopping facilities and access to attractions such as Lambir Hills and Niah National Park.
