What are the responsibilities and job description for the Skilled Handyman (Part-Time) — $24–$26/hr + Company Vehicle | Steady Weekday Work position at Local Handyman Raleigh?
You already know how to fix it. What if you could just show up, do great work, and head home — no chasing customers, no quoting hustle, no wear and tear on your own truck?
At Local Handyman Raleigh, we’re hiring a part-time Handyman Technician — and we built this role for the skilled tradesperson who wants steady, respectful work without the grind of running everything yourself. You bring the skills. We bring the customers, the schedule, the van, and the support.
Who this role is perfect for
This is a great fit if you’re…
- An experienced tradesperson who wants a steady base of guaranteed work without a full-time commitment
- Running your own side jobs and want a reliable stream of scheduled work fed straight to you
- Semi-retired from the trades and want to stay sharp a few days a week
- Stepping back from full-time construction and want skilled work with real work-life balance
- Tired of 1099 gig apps and want to be a real employee — with benefits and a company vehicle
What you get
- A company vehicle — you’re not putting miles, gas, or wear on your own truck, and you’re not carrying your own insurance
- Real benefits, even part-time — health insurance and paid time off (rare in this line of work)
- Steady, scheduled work — we find the customers and fill your calendar, so you focus on the job, not the hustle
- $24–$26/hr as a W-2 employee — no self-employment tax headaches and no chasing invoices
- A flexible part-time schedule that fits around your life and your other work
- Room to grow — if you ever want more hours or to advance, the door is open
What you’ll do
- A variety of home repair and improvement jobs in customers’ homes — the trades you already know
- Work scheduled jobs on your own or alongside another technician
- Communicate clearly and professionally with homeowners
- Keep every job site clean, safe, and organized
- Follow our proven process so every customer gets a 5-star result
Who we are
Local Handyman Raleigh is a professional home-services company and part of a growing network across the U.S. and Canada. We believe skilled tradespeople deserve to be treated like the professionals they are — with steady work, clear expectations, the right tools and support, and a team that has their back. We run on a simple set of values: reliability, integrity, respect, quality, growth, and support. That’s how we treat our customers, and it’s how we treat our team.
What we’re looking for
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role — not an entry-level or training position. You should be comfortable running a job in a customer’s home on your own. The ideal candidate has:
- 3 years of hands-on handyman, construction, or skilled-trade experience
- Solid ability across common residential work — drywall, painting, carpentry and trim, basic plumbing and electrical, and flooring
- A friendly, professional way with homeowners, and pride in doing things the right way
- Reliability, punctuality, and good problem-solving common sense
- A valid driver’s license and clean driving record (you’ll be driving our company vehicle)
- A basic set of hand tools and the ability to lift, climb, and do physical work safely
- Comfort working in occupied homes, and the ability to pass a background check
