Job description

Monday to Friday Weekly pay Full training provided

Looking for a steady, hands-on job with a good team? We’ve got a spot at our Blenheim branch for a Rollformer Operator, running the machines that make quality roofing and cladding for builders across the top of the South Island.

Roofing Industries is part of the Vulcan Steel Group and has been supporting New Zealand roofers and builders for over 25 years. With branches nationwide, we manufacture and supply quality metal roofing, cladding, rainwater, and related products for residential, commercial, rural, and industrial projects.

What you’ll be doing

• Operating roll forming machines to produce roofing and cladding products
• Manufacturing corrugated, flashing, and cladding to order
• Reading and following job sheets, measurements, and production instructions
• Keeping an eye on coil stock and production materials
• Using forklifts and overhead gantry cranes to move materials
• Helping with loading trucks, dispatch, and customer collections
• Keeping the factory clean, tidy, and safe

It’s a hands-on manufacturing role — there’s lifting and manual work involved, with machine and forklift help on the bigger gear.

What we’re after

• Experience operating machinery in a manufacturing, factory, or production environment (roll forming, roofing, or sheet metal a real advantage)
• Able to read measurements and follow job specifications
• Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling
• Strong health & safety awareness
• Forklift licence (F endorsement) and gantry crane experience preferred
• A valid work visa or the right to work in New Zealand
• Able to pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol test

What’s in it for you

• Weekly pay and steady, reliable hours
• Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm— your weekends are your own
• Full on-the-job training, so you’ll be set up to succeed
• A supportive, team-focused branch where your effort gets noticed
• A permanent role with a stable, nationwide business and room to grow
• After 6 months you get health insurance
