Job description

About the Role:

We are looking for a skilled, versatile Renovations & Maintenance Technician to join our team. This isn’t a "stand in one spot" assembly line job. One day you might be installing a custom tile backsplash or framing a closet, and the next you’ll be troubleshooting an irrigation leak or swapping out a light fixture.

You are the person who walks onto a job site, sees a problem, and says, "I’ve got the tool for that."

What You’ll Be Doing:

• General Carpentry: Trim work, baseboards, door hanging, and light framing.
• Drywall & Paint: Professional-grade patching, sanding, and finishing (we aim for "invisible" repairs).
• Plumbing/Electrical Light Work: Swapping faucets, repairing toilets, changing outlets, and basic troubleshooting.
• Specialty Repairs: Minor masonry, deck repairs, and basic irrigation/exterior maintenance.
• Job Management: Estimating materials needed for a task and keeping a clean, organized workspace.

What We’re Looking For:

• The "Swiss Army Knife" Skillset: At least 2 years of experience in residential remodeling or professional handyman services.
• Tool Savvy: You own your basic hand/power tools and know how to use them safely and efficiently.
• The "Finish" Eye: You don't just get it done; you get it done so it looks original to the house.
• Reliability: You show up when you say you will, with a clean appearance and a professional attitude.
• Driver’s License: A valid license and a reliable vehicle (Truck/Van preferred).

Why Work With Us?

• Variety: No two days are the same. You won't get bored.
• Autonomy: We trust our techs. Once you prove your skills, we give you the space to manage your tasks.
• Steady Work: We have a consistent pipeline of residential and commercial clients.
