About the Company

Zibuke OnCall is a unit within the Services Division of Zibuke Africa. We help homeowners and corporate customers manage the cost of unexpected maintenance with affordable subscription packages. For homeowners we provide individual property coverage. For corporate customers we provide portfolio coverage for commercial properties, rental units, offices, and retail spaces. We operate across South Africa and are growing rapidly.

We do not use traditional interviews. We believe you should be judged by what you can do, not by how well you talk about yourself. Every technical role begins with a practical skills verification and an Accountability Assessment. This is a real work proving period where you demonstrate your skill, your reliability, and your commitment to quality.

Our carpentry department is part of a larger home services company that also offers plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, and handyman services. Our carpenters often work alongside other trades to deliver complete solutions for our customers. The carpentry department handles everything from door repairs and kitchen installations to roofing work and structural carpentry for both homeowners and corporate customers.

Zibuke OnCall is looking for a licensed, trade-tested Carpenter to join our Carpentry Department. You must hold a valid Trade Test Certificate (Red Seal) in Carpentry and Joinery. You must also have the practical experience to back up your qualifications. This is not a learn on the job position. We require fully qualified, trade-tested carpenters who can measure, cut, assemble, and install carpentry work independently to a high standard.

As a carpenter you will work across both customer groups. On any given day you may be repairing a kitchen cupboard at a family home in the morning and fitting new doors at a corporate office in the afternoon. This variety builds your experience across residential and commercial carpentry.

This role begins with a practical skills verification, followed by the Carpenter Accountability Assessment. This is a period during which you complete real carpentry jobs while we confirm your work quality, your reliability, and your customer service standards. You are on salary from Day 1. Your experience and qualifications determine your starting salary within the R12,000 to R18,000 range.

We provide the tools, the parts, the materials, and the customer bookings. As part of a multi-trade home services company, you will also work alongside plumbers, electricians, and handymen to deliver complete solutions for our customers. You prove your skill through real results.
