Overview

Are you a skilled tradesperson who loves the hands-on work of home improvement but dislikes the constant hassle of chasing leads, bidding on jobs, and managing paperwork?

As a Senior Craftsman, you will perform a variety of medium-to-small home repairs and improvements for residential and light commercial customers.

You will communicate clearly with homeowners, explain the scope of work, complete tasks efficiently, and leave every workspace clean.

• Over time: You will build a reputation as a trusted, go-to expert in the community. You will consistently complete jobs within estimated timeframes, maintain high customer satisfaction scores, and serve as a technical resource or mentor to newer team members.

Core Responsibilities

• Complete a diverse range of home repairs and installations, including carpentry, drywall patching, door/window adjustments, tiling, minor plumbing (like replacing faucets), and light electrical (like installing ceiling fans).

• Evaluate customer requests on-site, verify the scope of work, and explain the repair process clearly to the homeowner.

• Manage your time efficiently to ensure jobs are completed on schedule.

• Document completed work and collect payments using our mobile application.

• Maintain a safe, organized, and clean workspace at every job site.

• A valid driver's license and a reliable, insured truck or van suitable for transporting tools and materials.

• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to solve unexpected repair challenges independently.

• Ability to pass a standard background check.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience using mobile apps for scheduling, job dispatch, or customer management.
