What are the responsibilities and job description for the Master Craftsman position at Smith Handyman Service?
MASTER CRAFTSMAN
Knoxville, TN · Full-Time · Take-Home Vehicle · Tips & Commission Eligible
“Most people do the job. A craftsman owns it.”
This isn’t a posting for everyone and it’s not meant to be. We’re looking for one person. Someone who has spent years building real skill with their hands and takes genuine pride in what they leave behind. Someone who doesn’t need to be managed, motivated, or reminded why the work matters.
If you’re that person, you already know it. And you’ve probably spent too long working somewhere that didn’t recognize it. That changes here.
The Challenge
Our customers trust us with their most important asset, their home. Every job is different. Every day demands someone who can walk into an unfamiliar situation, assess it honestly, and execute it at a level the customer will still be talking about years from now.
That’s the standard. Not because we wrote it down, because a craftsman wouldn’t have it any other way.
What the Work Looks Like
Residential and light commercial across a wide range of trades. No two days the same:
— Custom carpentry & framing
— Door replacement & deck repair
— Fixture replacement (electrical & plumbing)
— Siding repair, replacement & install
— Flooring installation & replacement
— Pressure washing & gutter cleaning
— Drywall repair & painting
— Light remodeling & honey-do lists
What You Earn

Competitive hourly time and a half over 40 hrs
Your Truck

Tips & Commission
Yours to keep; your relationship, your reward
Recognition
Performance rewards for exceptional customer experiences
What We Require. No Exceptions.
- Valid driver’s license with a clean record
- Must pass a pre-employment drug screening
- Background check required; any drug-related offense or DUI within the last 5 years is an automatic disqualifier, as is any violent offense regardless of when it occurred. Do not apply if this applies to you.
- You own your tools; professional-grade, job-ready, and a reflection of who you are
- Verifiable multi-trade experience across residential work
To Be Considered
Include the word CRAFTSMAN at the top of your application or cover letter. Applications without it will not be reviewed. It takes five seconds, if you can’t do that, this probably isn’t the right fit.
“We don’t just want someone who can do the work. We want someone who would be embarrassed to do it any other way.”
