How long after an open carpal tunnel release on the non dominant hand could sometime return to a job that does not require extensive use of the hand?

Depends on: lots of things, such as severity of nerve damage, extent of operation, exact nature of your job, and any possibility of complication. You should ask your doctor for precise advice.
