Job Description

Are you a skilled handyman or maintenance technician looking for steady, full time work with a great team, strong pay, and excellent benefits? Honey Homes is hiring in Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and Lamorinda. This is a full time, W2 hourly job with paid benefits, not a gig, contract, or part time role.

Just steady, well paid home repair and maintenance work close to home.

• Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm

• No evenings, no weekends, no on call, no required overtime

• 100% company paid health, vision, and dental insurance

• 401(k)

• 12 paid holidays plus 13 days of paid time off

• Life insurance, flexible spending accounts, and a company phone

• Referral bonus: $50 when someone you refer completes a phone screen, and $500 when they're hired and stay past 30 days

What You'll Do

  • Carpentry: door installation, trim and molding, framing, dry rot repair, deck and fence repair

Job Requirements

• 5+ years of hands on experience as a handyman, maintenance technician, carpenter, remodeler, or in another multi trade residential role.

• Skilled across carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting, and drywall, with strong troubleshooting ability. You can assess and fix most issues in a home on your own.

• Attention to detail and a customer friendly attitude. You're in members' homes and they need to trust you.

• Reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, and your own tools.

• Able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds, work on ladders and overhead, and work in tight spaces such as attics and crawlspaces (with or without reasonable accommodation).
