Full time
Are you a highly skilled carpenter who takes real pride in your work?
Are you tired of chaotic builders, disorganised job sites, poor communication, chasing work, and companies that don’t value quality tradesmen?
JT Handyman Solutionz is growing fast, and we’re looking for a reliable, experienced carpenter/maintenance tradesman to join our team.
This is not a basic handyman role.
This is a senior-level position for someone who can walk into a job, assess what needs to be done, solve problems, communicate professionally, and complete quality work without needing to be babysat.
You’ll be joining a growing Melbourne-based maintenance and renovation company with strong systems, consistent workflow, office support, and a team that actually cares about doing things properly.
Most trade jobs promise “great culture” and “consistent work.”
We actually provide:
✅ $90,000–$100,000 salary package based on experience
✅ Overtime available for those who want to earn more
✅ Fuel card provided
✅ Work phone provided
✅ Consistent scheduled work across Melbourne
✅ Strong office support so you are not left chasing clients
✅ Clear job management system with notes, photos, and scheduling
✅ Variety of work — no repetitive volume-site labour
✅ Stable full-time role with long-term opportunity
✅ Opportunity to grow with a fast-expanding company
We are looking for someone who wants stability, variety, respect, and the opportunity to be part of a company that is moving forward.
You’ll be completing residential maintenance, repair, renovation, and carpentry works across Melbourne.
Every day is different.
One day you might be completing door and window repairs.
The next day you could be working on bathroom repairs, cladding, decking, finishing carpentry, plaster repairs, or general property maintenance.
This role suits someone who is confident across a broad range of residential building works and enjoys problem-solving.
You need to be the type of tradesman who can turn up, understand the job, communicate clearly with the client, complete the work properly, and leave the site clean and professional.
You’ll be responsible for works including:
Residential maintenance and renovation jobs
General carpentry and handyman works
Internal and external building repairs
Door and window installations, repairs, and adjustments
Bathroom, kitchen, and laundry renovation works
Decks, pergolas, and outdoor structures
Skirting, architraves, cabinetry, and finishing carpentry
Plaster, flooring, cladding, and general repair works

Has strong problem-solving ability
Is reliable and organised
Communicates well with clients
Presents professionally
Has strong attention to detail
Can handle a wide range of maintenance and renovation tasks

Wants to be part of a company that is growing
This is not for someone who needs to be chased, reminded, micromanaged, or constantly supervised.
We want someone who knows their trade, respects the client’s home, and takes ownership of the job.
To be considered, you’ll need:
Carpentry qualification
Strong hands-on experience in residential carpentry, maintenance, or renovation work
Broad handyman/maintenance skill set
