Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Technician supports the hotel’s engineering and maintenance operations, helping keep guest rooms, public areas, equipment, and building systems safe and fully functional. Typical duties include preventive maintenance, inspections, repairs, responding to work requests, and recording completed tasks. Candidates should have practical technical experience in areas such as electrical systems, plumbing, air-conditioning, refrigeration, or general building maintenance. A vocational qualification or relevant certification is advantageous. The role requires troubleshooting ability, attention to detail, physical fitness, safety awareness, and willingness to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays. Marriott expects a professional, service-minded team member who responds promptly to guests and colleagues, follows safety procedures, maintains high standards, and works cooperatively with other departments.
Can I work in Thailand?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: The employer applies online (4 Thai staff per foreigner), then a Non-B visa; extending your stay wants about THB 50,000 a month, far above line-job pay.
Watch for: Massage, beauty, guiding, driving and clerical jobs are closed to foreigners; a tourist or Destination Thailand Visa does not allow work for a Thai business.
Official source: Thai Government Public Relations Department: e-Work Permit for foreign workers. Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in Thailand
Usual for Thailand, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Usually not in Bangkok; dorms at some island resorts; an allowance for senior staff |
|---|---|
| Meals | Staff canteen |
| Flights | Senior packages only |
| Service charge | Shared among staff; no law sets the split, and the amount varies by hotel (ask before you accept) |
| Contract | 1 to 2 years; probation often 119 days, as severance is due from day 120 |
| Leave | At least 6 days after 1 year and 13 public holidays (by law); 48-hour week, 1 rest day |
| Income tax | 0% up to THB 150,000 a year, then 5% to 35%; 5% social security capped at THB 875 a month (2026) |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
