Senior Carpenter / Lead Handyman — $32–$40/hr + Company Van
Local Handyman Lethbridge
Full-time, year-round | Company van provided
You’ve put in the years — on the tools, in customers’ homes, fixing other people’s shortcuts. You shouldn’t have to choose between senior pay and steady, year-round work. At Local Handyman Lethbridge, you get both.
We believe homeowners deserve professionalism, respect, and high-quality craftsmanship — and we believe the person setting that standard deserves to be paid like the professional they are: senior wages, real benefits, and a company that has their back.
This is a full-time employee position with scheduled work all year round. No slow seasons. No winter layoffs. No chasing subcontract gigs. You’re one of the leaders on our team, and your compensation, responsibility, and growth reflect the value you bring.
Please note: this is a senior role for experienced, qualified tradespeople only. It is not suited to apprentices, general labourers, or those early in their trades career.
The Role
As one of our Lead Technicians, you’re a senior tradesperson on the team. Your focus is delivering excellent work — and raising the bar for everyone around you:
- Run our most complex, highest-value projects — bathroom and kitchen renovations, framing, custom carpentry, and full-scope repairs
- Work independently in customers’ homes as the face of our company
- Mentor and supervise our Carpenter Apprentices — your experience is how they earn their ticket
- Own quality: your standard is the company standard
- Handle the customer conversation when scope changes or something unexpected comes up
- Help shape how we work — processes, job planning, and material decisions
- Deliver a 5-star experience through craftsmanship and care
Who Thrives Here
- A genuinely skilled, versatile craftsperson — the one others call when they’re stuck
- Calm and professional in customers’ homes, even when the job gets complicated
- A natural mentor — patient with apprentices, generous with knowledge
- Proud of high-quality work and unwilling to cut corners
- Reliable, punctual, and accountable — you set the tone
You bring the mastery and the leadership — we provide the customers, the schedule, and a team that respects what you know.
Your Experience
- Years on the tools across residential trades — carpentry, drywall, painting, flooring, doors and windows, decks, minor plumbing and electrical — with the depth and range that only real experience builds
- A Journeyman carpentry ticket (Red Seal) or equivalent depth of experience — certification is a strong asset; proven skill is the requirement
- Experience leading jobs, mentoring junior workers, or running your own work from quote to completion
- A customer-friendly, professional demeanor and sound judgment
Requirements
- Valid driver’s licence with a clean abstract (you’ll be driving a company van)
- Ability to pass a background check
- Ability to lift, climb, and perform physical work safely
- Comfort working in occupied residential homes
- Own basic tool set (company equipment provided for the rest)
What’s In It For You
- $32–$40 per hour based on skills and experience — with growth as you take full ownership of the lead role
- Steady full-time hours all year round — a stable paycheque you can plan your life around, even in January
- Company van and equipment provided — stop putting kilometres and wear on your own truck
- Dental care, extended health care, and vision care
- Daytime hours — no nights, no camp work, no chasing shutdowns up north
- Real authority — your craftsmanship sets the company standard
- A culture built on trust, craftsmanship, and customer care
