Find your perfect Job in Maldives with Sub Oceanic. On this page we will first guide you through necessary considerations before you apply for a Job in Maldives. Secondly, we will share with you all relevant information to make your application relevant to employers.
When applying for a Job in Maldives, there are a few things to consider. Being an Island Nation locked by beautiful Waters comes along with certain challenges. Hence, we would like to prepare you as well as possible prior you submit your Application for one of our Dream Jobs in Maldives.
Team Members
When applying for a Job in Maldives, especially first timers should be aware of logistical challenges in terms of transports. Maldives is a Country surrounded by Water, hence the main Transport Vehicles are Boats and Seaplanes. As a result of that, transfer cost are generally much higher than in other Countries.
If you work at a Resort, a good employer will cover a certain amount of transfers per Year. However, meeting quickly with Friends for a coffee on another Island might be somewhat expensive or difficult.
Additionally, weather might impact your travel plans as well. While you might not be that comfortable travelling by boat at choppy days, seaplane connections for Team Members might be impacted as well. This results as Seaplane carriers give priority to passenger with international Flight connections.
That to say, a longer waiting time is immediately forgotten once you enjoy the incredible view from a seaplane cabin…
Things you should know about Jobs in Maldives
Take it or leave it – or should you rather say “Love it or hate it”? Island life is not for everyone, but those who are into it usually stay long! Even though all employment contracts with Sub Oceanic start with a one year period, rarely anyone stayed for that time in Maldives. Most people stay either for several years or give up on Island life after a few months or weeks.
Probably it is the community factor. In our experience, Team Members who are used to small communities love Island life. First time employees in Maldives used to big City Life and depending on all Smart Phone functions usually struggle quickly.
Having Meals at the same Venue (which is usually a staff canteen) everyday, instead of discovering new food stalls is not for everyone.
Additionally, room sharing arrangements are common in Maldives. That however depends usually on the individual employment position. Depending on Resort policies, movements at the Resort might be restricted as well. This is to ensure guest privacy.
Good news: Most Resorts offer a special Team Member beach. The same goes for a dedicated Bar for Team Members.

Things you should know about Jobs in Maldives
While the days on the Island might feel long from time to time, there will be also enough time to get out. Many employers allow their Team Members to accumulate off days and to take them off Island. That allows longer or more Holidays.
With Maldives being connected very well to the rest of the World, it is a great starting point for Travels. Especially during low season Flight rates are very attractive as well.

For your perfect Application to get your dream job in Maldives a few things should be considered:
Send a proper Application:
Unfortunately it becomes quite common that Applications simply contain a CV without any further words. In this case you should not except any response from an potential employer at all. If so, you should be cautious. This is and indicator that there is little communication happening at this specific company.
Type of Application:
While the highest chance for a successful Application comes with the response to an job opening, initial application which show a strong interest in the specific company can be very powerful as well.
At Sub Oceanic we post our Job Openings in a section on this Website, Job Maldives, SSI Dive Professional Jobs & on Sub Oceanic’s Linkedin Profile.
Due the nature of living at a small island, the fluctuation of employees in Maldives is much higher than anywhere else. That also gives initial applications a higher success probability than anywhere else.
At Sub Oceanic Maldives Positions we frequently need to occupy are:
-Diving Instructor
-Water Sports Instructor
-Boat Captain
-Water Sports Assistant
-Guest Relation Officer
-Marine Biologist
Apply only if Requirements are met:
Logistic in Maldives can be challenging. That also applies for Team Member accommodations.
i.E. If job openings are posted with specific gender requirements, the reason behind is the availability of accommodations. In case of shared accommodations, all roommates need to have the same gender as per local regulations. Couples looking for a job in Maldives may need to present a marriage certificate if room sharing is desired.
Even for single rooms, gender can play a role. Many resorts separate female and male housing facilities to increase the comfort level of their female employees.
Other requirements like qualifications or experience as outlined in the specific job add should be of course understood and met as well.
Apply through the requested channel and answer all questions published in the Job Add:
If a Job add hightlights to send your Application to a specific Email address please do so. The same goes for information requested. Especially requests for your Date of Birth or a Picture of yourself should not be ignored.
Information about the Age is crucial for legal reasons but also plays a role for assembling a matching Team on an Island. As for the picture, no one needs to be a Top Model. However, each employer in the hospitality sector will look for a friendly smile.
