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 San Jose.

We keep you local: you'll work either on a dedicated territory of 40 to 50 homes near where you live or on our residential remodeling crew. No client hunting, no unpredictable schedules, no weekends. Just steady, well paid home repair and maintenance work close to home.

• Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm

Benefits

• 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).
