Roofing Trade Supervisor
Modern Group WA | Perth Metro
$80,000 – $100,000 + Bonus + Fully Maintained Company Vehicle
Full-Time Opportunity
Step up from the tools without stepping away from the trade
Modern Group is looking for an experienced roofer, tiler, roof plumber or leading hand to supervise our roof restoration crews across the Perth metro area.
$80,000 – $100,000 + bonus + fully maintained company vehicle.
Based in Wangara.
Home every night.
The role
You'll oversee multiple crews delivering residential roof restorations across the metro — re-bedding, re-pointing, repairs and coating work.
Most days you're moving between sites: checking work before it's signed off, resolving issues on the spot, and making sure crews have the materials and access they need to keep moving.
On site, you'll be:
Inspecting workmanship first-hand — you still need to know what a properly finished ridge cap looks like
Check measuring and verifying scope before crews start, so what was quoted matches what's actually on the roof
Addressing work that isn't up to standard and getting it corrected, without it becoming a confrontation
Supporting your crews — coaching less experienced tradespeople, chasing materials, clearing whatever is holding the job up
Dealing with homeowners on site when something needs explaining
Off site, you'll be:
Keeping customers informed — start dates, delays, variations, and the difficult conversations others would rather avoid
Tracking stock and materials so crews aren't waiting on supply
Recording time on jobs and flagging where hours are running over
Raising variations when scope changes, so the additional work is captured and paid
To be clear, there is a genuine administrative component to this role.




It's not hours a day, but it directly affects the outcome.
Get the check measure and scope right up front and the job runs cleanly.
Get it wrong and your crews carry it.
What you'll need
Solid hands-on roofing experience — restoration, tiling, roof plumbing or comparable residential work
Formal trade qualifications aren't required.
Practical knowledge and a track record matter more here than a certificate
Confidence using a tablet and phone for job notes, photos and stock records — we'll train you on our systems, but you need to be open to it
Working at heights and White Card (or willingness to obtain them)
Current Australian driver's licence
The ability to tell someone their work isn't valuable enough and have them still want to work for you
What we offer
$80,000 – $100,000 base, depending on experience
Performance bonus on top paid monthly based on completed jobs
Fully maintained company vehicle and fuel card
Perth metro only — no FIFO, no regional travel, no camp accommodation
Full-time salaried position, PAYG — not a day rate or subcontract arrangement
A team to build, develop, and genuine input into how the division operates as it grows
