Maintenance & Remodeling Technician | $36/hr | $1.5K Bonus

About the role

Honey Homes gives homeowners a dedicated handyperson through a simple membership, so the work around their home actually gets done by someone they trust. We're now taking on the bigger jobs our members need: exterior repaints, dry rot repair and carpentry, decks, fences, bathroom refreshes with plumbing and electrical work, and more. We're growing our larger-project team in Oakland, Berkeley, and Piedmont and looking for skilled tradespeople to do the hands-on work on multi-day residential projects. A project lead scopes the job and sets the plan. You bring the carpentry, the electrical, and the plumbing and execute it to a high standard. The work is already sold and scheduled. No bidding, no invoicing, no chasing clients.

Responsibilities

• Execute the scoped work on larger residential projects: demo, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, and cleanup
• Carpentry: dry rot repair, decks, fences, doors, trim, and finish work
• Electrical: fixtures, outlets, switches, ceiling fans, and small wiring tasks
• Plumbing: toilets, faucets, valves, minor pipe repair, and bathroom fixture swaps
• Painting and drywall: exterior and interior repaints, patching, and finishing
• Work from the project lead's scope and flag anything on site that doesn't match the plan
• Be the face of Honey Homes on site: clear communication, respect for the member's home, and a clean, professional job every day
• Work primarily in Oakland, Berkeley, and Piedmont, and flex to nearby East Bay projects and job types as the work demands

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on carpentry, electrical, and plumbing experience
• A true multi-trade generalist. You're strong in carpentry and can handle the electrical and plumbing on a project without calling in a specialist for routine work
• Self-sufficient on site. Once the scope is set you can work through it without hand-holding
• Flexibility. You're comfortable moving between job types and nearby areas week to week and see that as part of the job
• Strong customer skills. You'll be in members' homes for days at a time and they need to trust you
• Attention to detail: clean carpentry joints, tidy electrical, leak-free plumbing, professional finish work
• Valid driver's license, your own reliable truck or work vehicle, and your own standard tools
• Legal authorization to work in the US. This is a full-time W-2 role
• You do not need a contractor's, electrical, or plumbing license. Permitted work is handled separately.
• Carry a 50-lb toolbox 40 feet and lift 50 lbs from floor to waist
• Climb a ladder and work at height
• Kneel, stand, and work overhead repeatedly
• Crawl through a crawlspace

Pay, Schedule, And Benefits

• $36/hr ($75,000/year) plus equity in the business
• $1,500 sign-on bonus, paid after you complete training and remain onboard for 30 days
• Mileage reimbursement for driving between job sites
• Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. No nights, weekends, or on-call
• 12 paid holidays plus 13 PTO/sick days
• 100% company-paid health, vision, and dental insurance
• 401(k), life insurance, FSA, and a company phone
