Job description

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 strong 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.
