Job Description

Are you a skilled handyman or maintenance technician looking for steady, full time work with a great team, strong pay, and excellent benefits? Honey Homes is hiring in San Jose. This is a full time, W2 hourly job with paid benefits, not a gig, contract, or part time role. We keep you local: you'll work either on a dedicated territory of 40 to 50 homes near where you live or on our residential remodeling crew. No client hunting, no unpredictable schedules, no weekends. Just steady, well paid home repair and maintenance work close to home.

We serve over 4,000 homeowners across California, Texas, and Illinois, and we're growing fast, with real support from a Field Manager and a Member Success team behind you every day. There's real room to grow here: take courses from our General Contractor, with opportunities to move up to Senior Handyman and then to Field Trainer. We're offering a $1,500 sign on bonus for qualified candidates, paid out in full after you complete training and remain onboard for 30 days.

What You Get

Pay

$37/hr, about $77,000 per year, plus equity in the business

$1,500 sign on bonus, paid in full after training and 30 days onboard

Mileage reimbursement for all local driving between jobs

Schedule

Full time, 40 hours per week, steady residential work. No searching for clients.

Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm

Benefits

100% company paid health, vision, and dental insurance

401(k)

12 paid holidays plus 13 days of paid time off

Life insurance, flexible spending accounts, and a company phone

Referral bonus: $50 when someone you refer completes a phone screen, and $500 when they're hired and stay past 30 days

Carpentry: door installation, trim and molding, framing, dry rot repair, deck and fence repair

Painting and drywall: interior painting, drywall repair and patching, caulking
