We are partnering with an established, specialist commercial roofing and cladding contractor based in Sydney. Known for high-end execution on major commercial builds, industrial facilities, and refurbishments across Greater Sydney, they have built a solid reputation for doing the job right the first time.
Due to an upcoming team transition, they are seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Working Foreman to lead their installation crew on long-term project runs (typically 4–5 months per site).
About the Role
Reporting directly to the Company Director, you will lead day-to-day site operations while remaining active on the tools. You will supervise a tight crew of 2 to 4 roofers, taking ownership of site safety, trade productivity, and initial structural set-outs.
Key Responsibilities:
- Site Leadership: Lead and motivate a small crew on-site, ensuring jobs run safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
- Insulated Panel & Roofing Set-Out: Take ownership of precision set-outs, fixing, and detailing for insulated roof/wall panels, safety mesh, and insulation blankets.
- Quality Control: Conduct detailed inspections on all flashings, joins, and penetrations to ensure watertight, defect-free finishes.
- Safety & Compliance: Enforce strict Working at Heights procedures, EWP usage, and SWMS compliance across the team.
- Director Liaison: Maintain regular communication with the Director regarding site progress, material requirements, and project milestones.
What We Are Looking For
- Roofing & Trades Background: Extensive commercial roofing experience with a proven track record as a Leading Hand, Working Foreman, or Site Lead.
- Insulated Panel Expertise: Hands-on experience installing insulated roof and/or wall panels (e.g., Kingspan, Bondor) is highly desired.
- Precision & Quality: A "build-it-right" attitude with sharp attention to detail during set-outs and structural alignments.
- Essential Tickets & Licences:
- Valid NSW Driver’s Licence & White Card
- Working at Heights Certification (essential)
- EWP / Yellow Card (Scissor & Boom Lift over/under 11m preferred)
- Crane / Dogging / Rigging tickets are a major bonus
What’s on Offer?
- Top-Tier Remuneration: Competitive salary up to $140,000 + Super.
- Fully Covered Vehicle: Serviced company van/ute with all fuel and tolls 100% paid for.
- Lifestyle Hours: Standard day shift from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Mon–Fri).
- Stable Project Runs: Consistent 4 to 5-month project durations across Sydney Metro (less time commuting between sites).
- Overtime Potential: Occasional Saturday work with full penalty rates during peak project phases.
