Handyman

About us
Maintain It is a full-service facility maintenance company working alongside BUILD IT, an Ontario general contractor. We keep restaurant, retail, and commercial facilities running at their best, with a focus on quick-service restaurant locations.

About the role
You're the person who shows up and fixes it. About 80% of this job is hands-on repair work you do yourself. The other 20% is coordinating licensed trades when a job needs one, then making sure their work is done right before the ticket closes.

The Handyman reports directly to the Operations Manager and works closely with subcontractors/trades, on-site client contacts, and the broader Maintain It team.

What you'll do

• Patch and finish drywall to match existing texture and paint


• Repair and replace tile, flooring sections, and ceiling tiles


• Remove and replace failed caulking around fixtures, counters, washrooms, kitchens, windows, and exterior joints


• Repair small areas of concrete: cracks, chips, spalling, and trip hazards on sidewalks, curbs, and pads


• Adjust and replace door closers, hinges, and hardware; repair washroom stalls, partitions, FRP panels, and dumpster enclosure gates


• Handle minor plumbing and electrical fixes


• Assess issues on arrival and decide whether to fix directly or bring in a trade


• Schedule, supervise, and verify licensed trade work (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)


• Communicate clearly with on-site client contacts about what was done and what's next


• Document every job with reports and photos


• Track your tools, equipment, and materials, and flag supply needs early

What you bring

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in general repair, handyman, or facility maintenance work


• Your own full set of hand and power tools


• Valid driver's licence and a reliable vehicle


• Comfort working on ladders


• Availability for weekends, overnights, and late hours (we work around restaurant operating hours to avoid disrupting our clients)


• Organized, reliable, and professional with clients


• Comfortable using apps and digital tools for work orders and reporting

Pay: $28–$36/hour
