If a person always wants others to help him complete his work, should I say, ‘He is a troublemaker who always expects someone to help with his work all the time’?

Hi Jamila Liao! Great question. In this case I wouldn't necessarily call him a "troublemaker". It sounds more like a "free rider" 類似搭便車的人, someone in a group who doesn't pull his weight and expects others to contribute. A good colloquial term is a "mooch", someone who asks for things without paying for it. Or you can just describe him as "needy or lazy"! Hope it helps ;)
