I think the word "Builder " is not the best neither construction worker neither plumber because he does a bit of this and that..

In addition to Coffa's, I'd suggest 'caretaker' or 'janitor' (in an instutional context only - you have a 'school janitor', but you don't phone a janitor to fix a dripping tap in a private house).
