Metal Roofing / Sheet Metal Fabrication
$20–$35/hr based on experience and skill level
We hire for attitude and potential—not just years of experience.
We're a growing company specializing in the fabrication and installation of standing seam metal roofing systems and related sheet metal work.
We're looking for reliable, hard-working people who take pride in quality work. Roofing or sheet metal experience is a plus, but you don't need to know standing seam metal roofing to apply. We'll teach the right person the trade.
What We're Looking For
We care more about what you can actually do and how you approach the work than how many years of experience are on your résumé.
You should:
No roofing or sheet metal experience is required. Construction experience is preferred, but the right person can learn the trade from us.
We can teach you how to fabricate a piece of metal, use a particular tool, or install a type of trim. We can't teach you to show up every day, read a tape measure, work safely, or care about doing a good job.
What You'll Do
Our work includes the fabrication and installation of complete standing seam metal roofing systems and related components.
Metal Fabrication
Roofing
Other Work
All work is performed using required OSHA-compliant PPE, including gloves, harnesses, ropes and fall protection.
How You'll Start
If you're new to the trade, you won't be expected to know everything on day one.
New employees typically start by helping the crew from the ground while learning how we do things. This may include:
As you learn, you'll take on more responsibility and more skilled work.
The goal isn't to keep you doing ground work forever. The more you learn, the more you can do. The more you can do safely and independently, the more you can earn.
Pay & Advancement
$20–$35/hr based on experience and skill level.
As a general guideline:
Able to fabricate custom components, work independently, solve problems in the field, and eventually take responsibility for running jobs.
Occasional emergency procurement operations may be required. Company vehicle and appropriate resources provided.
These aren't automatic pay levels based on years of experience. Experience matters, but demonstrated skill matters more.
Raises and advancement are based on things like:
We notice when someone is improving and taking on more responsibility. We also notice when someone isn't.
Someone who needs to be told what to do every step of the way isn't going to advance as quickly as someone who sees what needs to be done and takes care of it.
At the highest level, our employees are able to fabricate custom pieces, understand which materials and tools to use and why, solve problems independently, manage their time, communicate with customers when necessary, and keep a project moving without constant supervision.
Weather & Schedule
8-hour shifts, although some days may be as long as 10 hours depending on the job.
Our work is weather dependent.
When roofing work isn't possible, newer employees may have shop work available, including:
Weather days may be handled differently depending on the employee's role and the work available.
What We Offer
About Us
We're a small, hands-on company specializing in standing seam metal roofing and sheet metal fabrication. You'll work directly with the owner and experienced members of the crew, with opportunities to learn the trade and take on more responsibility as your skills develop. We've had employees stay with us for 10+ years and promote from within when opportunities arise.
Before You Apply
This is physical, outdoor work. You'll spend significant time on roofs, in changing weather and on your feet for most of the day.
You don't need to know every type of metal trim or how to install a standing seam roof before you start. Those are skills we can teach.
If you want to learn a skilled trade, take pride in your work and become someone the crew can rely on, we'd like to hear from you.
If you're looking for a job where you can do the minimum, wait to be told what to do and go home at the end of the day, this probably isn't the right job for you.
