Skilled Carpenter/Handy Man

ZEM Home Repair
Portland, OR Full Time
POSTED ON 8/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/21/2026

Who we are
At ZEM, we build more than homes — we build people. We believe in strong foundations: not only for houses, but for teams, families, and individuals. We value heart, growth, and character just as much as craftsmanship.

What the job is
We’re hiring someone who:

  • Can tackle drywall repair, bathtub and vanity installations, cabinet work, toilet/plumbing hookups, and general carpentry/maintenance.
  • Has a desire to learn, grow, and take on leadership over time.
  • Is passionate about doing quality work — but also about growing in habits, integrity, and skill.
  • Values teamwork, communication, and relationships with clients and coworkers.

Why join us

  • You’ll be part of a company that values you — your growth, your passions, your gifts.
  • Opportunity to learn not just remodeling trades, but leadership, problem-solving, and how to lead with character.
  • Flexible schedule, ongoing work, and a community-focused culture.
  • A chance to work on a variety of projects so you get broad experience (drywall, carpentry, plumbing, finishes, remodeling).

What we’re looking for

  • Solid experience (or strong familiarity) with remodeling / general handyman work: drywall, carpentry, tubs/vanities, toilets, etc.
  • Someone teachable, humble, willing to grow and learn.
  • Good communication, reliability, and a people-first mindset.
  • Own tools and a willingness to travel locally as needed.

How to apply
Send your name, contact info, a short note about why you want to build and grow (not just hammer and nail), and — if you can — a few photos or short descriptions of past work.
