Island Facility Services is seeking a skilled General Maintenance Technician to support commercial maintenance and repair work across Hawaii. This is a hands-on, multi-trade role for someone who can troubleshoot problems, complete quality repairs, and work independently across active retail, restaurant, hospitality, and commercial facilities.
