Job Title: Lead Handyman — Metro Vancouver ($44 to $48/hr + bonuses)
Job Type: Permanent Full-time
Want to work solo, get paid what you're worth, and take home a fully stocked, high-roof Ford Transit van every night?
Microworks is hiring a skilled, self-directed handyman who wants real autonomy, real support, and real money. Clean, efficient work, booked in advance, done right the first time, with a company that puts tradespeople first.
Why You'll Love It Here:
Your Own High-Roof Ford Transit Van
Late-model, fully branded, and fully stocked from day one. Tall enough to stand in, tools and materials already loaded. Take it home each night and treat it like your own.
Top Pay Plus Bonuses
$44 to $48/hr, plus commission bonuses for booked extra work (avg. $300 to $500 per pay period). We pay top of market because your time and skill are worth it.
A Predictable, Respected Schedule
Jobs booked a minimum of 5 days in advance. Regular daytime hours you can actually plan your life around.
Zero Out-of-Pocket Costs
Tools, materials, software, fuel, even paid lunch break, all covered. You show up, do great work, and leave every job with a feeling of accomplishment.
Real Autonomy, Real Backup
You run your own day, solo, on your own terms. Our systems, office team, and senior technicians are there whenever you need them.
Room to Grow
Clear path to leadership as we expand across the Lower Mainland. Stay on the tools and take on more complex, higher-paying work, or step into a leadership role.
Onboarding and Mentorship
Full training on our tools, systems, and customer process, so you're set up to succeed and running autonomously fast.
The Work:
1 to 2 booked jobs per day. Drywall, trim, rot repair, finishing carpentry, painting, assembly, general residential repairs. Spot and price extra work on-site, log everything (notes, materials, photos) through our CRM app, and represent Microworks with pride in every home you enter.
What We're Looking For:
5+ years hands-on residential trade experience
Red Seal or Journeyperson ticket an asset, but not required
Strong general skills across carpentry, drywall, painting, and repair
Clean Class 5 license, comfortable driving and parking a full-size van
Physically capable of lifting 50+ lbs and working full days
Lives within North Van, West Van, Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, PoCo, or Coquitlam
Friendly, professional, and reliable, the kind of person people trust in their home
