Job description

LEADING HAND – RESIDENTIAL METAL ROOFING

We’re not interested in old-school site culture, ego-driven leadership, or chaotic crews. We’re building a high-performance residential roofing company where people come first, standards matter, and leaders lead with respect.

We’re looking for an experienced/transition to Senior Leading Hand who can run a residential roofing crew professionally, someone who values culture just as much as quality workmanship.

This role suits someone who:

• Leads calmly under pressure
• Commands respect without arrogance
• Takes ownership of their sites and crew
• Wants long-term growth, stability and autonomy
• Is tired of disorganised builders, poor culture and low standards

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading residential metal roofing crew across Brisbane & SEQ
• Managing day-to-day site operations and workflow
• Maintaining high workmanship and safety standards
• Mentoring apprentices and younger roofers
• Creating a positive, respectful team environment
• Coordinating materials, site organisation and productivity
• Working closely with management to improve systems and delivery

What We Offer

• $120K - 130k Annual Package
• Fully maintained late-model ute + fuel card
• Quarterly performance bonuses
• Stable full-time employment
• Strong pipeline of residential projects
• Organised systems and scheduling
• No micromanagement
• Real autonomy and authority on-site
• Early Friday finishes
• Premium uniforms, PPE and wet weather gear provided
• A respectful, supportive and high-standard culture

Our Culture

KOVA is built around professionalism, respect and accountability.

We believe the best crews are led by people who know how to bring others with them, not by fear, ego or screaming across a site.

We’re building a company where:

• Good people actually enjoy coming to work
• Leaders support their crews
• Standards stay high without toxic culture
• Systems reduce stress and chaos
• Everyone takes pride in the finished product

Requirements

• Strong residential metal roofing experience
• Previous leadership or crew management experience preferred
• White Card + Working at Heights
• Driver’s Licence
• Ability to lead crews professionally and respectfully
• Strong communication and organisational skills

If you’re looking for a long-term opportunity with a company that genuinely values its people, leadership and culture, we’d like to hear from you.
