Your Responsibilities

• Perform Diverse Handyman Jobs: Complete a wide range of small-to-medium maintenance and repair projects for both homes and businesses – including carpentry, drywall, tile, flooring, painting, doors, windows, decks, and light remodeling. Manage each project independently from start to finish, ensuring high-quality results.

• Job Documentation: Use a company-provided tablet to document each job – take before-and-after photos, write up notes, and process invoices/payment upon completion. Ensure all work orders and customer approvals are properly recorded.
• Maintain Equipment & Safety: Keep the company vehicle and your tools/equipment clean, organized, and in good working condition. Follow all safety protocols on job sites, including wearing proper PPE and boot covers to protect our customers’ homes. Safely handle ladders (up to 32’) and work on roofs or elevated areas when necessary.
• Professionalism: Represent Mr. Handyman with integrity and courtesy at all times. This includes arriving on time in uniform, maintaining a clean work area, and respecting the customer’s property. Communicate with the office team as needed for support, additional materials, or schedule changes.
