Handyman / Maintenance Technician
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 3, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 18, 2026.
Handyman / Maintenance Technician
Dubai, UAE · Full-time, field-based · 6 days per week
Close the whole job in one visit.
Every month, hundreds of thousands of people across the GCC book a cleaner, a beauty service, a handyman, or a healthcare visit through Justlife. When they book a handyman, they usually have three jobs waiting, not one - and they don’t want three different people across three different days.
We’re looking for a technician who can handle all three - handyman work, basic electrical and basic plumbing - and close the whole job in a single visit, leaving the customer with nothing left to book.
The Role
You will carry out residential home maintenance jobs at customer locations across Dubai, booked through the Justlife platform.
You’ll work as part of a crew with a dedicated van, helper and driver. This is a customer-facing role - the quality of your work and the way you deal with the customer both matter.
This role requires all three skill sets. A crew is expected to close most jobs in one visit, so single-trade candidates will not be considered.
What You’ll Do
- Handyman work: furniture assembly and installation, TV wall mounting, hanging mirrors, paintings, shelves and wall décor, curtain and blind installation, wall drilling and fixing, door, lock and hinge repairs, and general small repairs.
- Basic electrical work: light fixtures and fittings, switches and sockets, ceiling fans, and diagnosing and fixing simple faults safely.
- Basic plumbing work: leak fixes, blockages and drainage issues, taps and shower heads, and bathroom accessories and fittings.
- Arrive on time, confirm the job scope with the customer, and complete the work in a single visit wherever possible.
- Take before and after photos, and get the customer’s approval once the job is done.
- Identify any additional work the customer may need and raise it to the operations team.
What We’re Looking For
Must-haves
- Able to do all three - handyman work, basic electrical and basic plumbing. Candidates who can do only one or two of these will not be shortlisted.
- Minimum 3 years of UAE experience as a handyman or maintenance technician.
- Currently based in the UAE - this is a field role in Dubai.
- Good English communication skills - able to confirm scope, explain the work and handle the customer directly with confidence.
- Hands-on experience with drilling, mounting and furniture assembly.
- Able to use power tools and hand tools safely.
- Available to work 6 days a week.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience in residential home services, a B2C setup, or facilities management.
- Ability to complete multiple small tasks during a single customer visit.
- Professional appearance and a customer-friendly attitude.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, plus a performance incentive linked to job completion, customer rating and the additional work you generate.
- Employment, visa sponsorship, medical insurance and accommodation handled by the Justlife Partner entity.
- Company van, tools and materials provided - no personal spend on the job.
- Full training on the Justlife process, service standards and customer handling.
- Working setup: Dubai, UAE - field-based, full-time, 6 days a week.
Interview Process
- CV screening.
- Initial call (20 minutes) - experience, visa status and availability.
- Practical skill assessment - a hands-on test covering all three areas: drilling, mounting and assembly, a basic electrical task, and a basic plumbing task.
- Final interview - customer handling, upsell capability and salary expectation.
