Job description

You love fixing things, and you love it done right.

We take care of the rest.

Our members trust us with the small jobs around their homes: a door that sticks, trim to put up, a hole in the drywall, caulking to redo, a shelf to install. We're looking for someone handy and reliable to do them the way we'd do them at our own place. This position covers Longueuil and the South Shore: Brossard, Saint-Lambert, Boucherville, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, La Prairie, Candiac and nearby.

A day like any other and no two are alike

Just an example to give you an idea: the times between stops vary from day to day.

The night before

Tomorrow's schedule is already on your phone: addresses, planned work, the client's notes. No surprises.

8 a.m.

You leave home in the van and head straight to your first client. No detour through a garage.

First stop

At Mrs. Tremblay's in Old Longueuil: the bedroom door sticks and the kitchen trim is coming loose. You protect the floor, adjust, reglue, clean up. You take your photos in the app, she signs, and you move on to the next one.

Second stop

A hole in the basement drywall in Saint-Hubert. You patch it and let the client know you'll be back the next day for the sanding.

Noon

Lunch.

Afternoon

At a Club member's home, you take care of the small jobs flagged during their inspection: caulking the tub, tightening handles, securing shelves. You note anything you noticed along the way: the office will follow up.

Something unexpected?

The client asks for something that wasn't planned. You call the call centre, which checks and adjusts. You don't have to haggle over a price on the doorstep.

4 p.m.

Day done. You head home with the van. Your report is done in the app, your photos too. Your evening is yours.

Your trade

What you do

• A variety of small jobs in the homes of our clients and members: repairing, adjusting, installing, assembling, caulking, redoing finishes
• A different home every day, in your area
• The work flagged during Club inspections, so the promises made to members are kept
• Your reports and photos in our app, on your phone

Handyman, handywoman, maintenance worker, odd-job person: whatever you call it, it's the same trade. Fixing, adjusting and maintaining homes, for people who count on you.

What you don't do

Selling, quoting, finding clients, managing your schedule. And no electrical or plumbing work: that's not our trade.

What we offer

What we offer

The conditions of the handyman job, in writing from the day you're hired.

From the day you're hired, then $27 after 12 months.

35 guaranteed hours

Paid every week, guaranteed from your first day.

8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Daytime, Monday to Friday.

We pay for gas. You keep it at home so you can head straight to your first client (no personal use).

$400 a year

For your tools.

T-shirts, cap, hoodies

Provided.

A $500 bonus

At the end of your first 3 months.

Health spending fund

$500 a year after 3 months, then $750 a year after one year, for your care: dentist, glasses, physio…

3 paid health days a year, plus 2 paid days to take between Christmas and New Year's Day.

And a trainer by your side from the start, with a written path: see below .

Who it's for

You're the right person if…

• You're good with your hands, and you can prove it: a bathroom redone, a floor laid, a basement finished. You don't need to have done it as a job, but you need to have done it. Attach photos of your projects to your application: they're worth more than a résumé.
• You like helping people and you care about the client being happy
• You like a clear framework and well-established rules
• You're punctual, tidy and respectful in the client's home
• You're resourceful: when the house doesn't match the plan, you find a solution, or you call
• You have a valid driver's licence

This way in is for you

You work in a warehouse, a factory or as a janitor, and you renovate at home on weekends?

You're semi-retired and want to stay active?

You dream of making renovation your trade without going self-employed?

The path

When you start
