The Opportunity

Stop putting miles on your personal truck and join the premier roofer of the High Sierra!

Eckard Roofing is looking for a highly skilled Journeyman Roofer to join our dedicated team in Truckee. We know that roofing in the mountains is different—it requires tougher gear, higher safety standards, and a crew that looks out for each other.

We provide the vehicle, the top-tier safety gear, and a weekly paycheck you can always count on.

What You Will Be Doing

• Installation & Repair: Execute high-quality residential and commercial roofing systems (Asphalt, Metal, and Single-Ply) tailored for high-altitude conditions.
• Technical Craftsmanship: Expertly handle complex flashings and intricate details that are critical to keeping mountain homes completely watertight.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Step up as a leader on the roof by mentoring apprentices and providing essential support to the job site Foreman.
• Safety & Site Management: Maintain a clean, highly organized, and strictly OSHA-compliant job site at all times.

What You Need To Succeed (Qualifications)

• Experience: 4+ years of true Journeyman-level roofing experience. You must know the tools, the materials, and the advanced techniques for both steep and low-slope roofs.
• Mountain Ready: Highly comfortable working at heights and adaptable to varying High Sierra weather conditions (sun, wind, and cold).
• Reliability: A strong work ethic—you show up on time, ready to work, and lead by example.
• Licensure: A valid Driver’s License is strictly required so you can operate the provided company vehicle.

Compensation & Premium Benefits

We believe in investing in the people who keep us on top. We offer a robust package to support you and your family:

• Top-Tier Pay: $27.00 – $31.00 per hour, paid on a reliable weekly pay cycle (get paid every Friday!).

• Financial Growth: Performance Bonuses, Year-End Bonuses, and a Retirement savings program.
• Work-Life Balance: Standard Monday–Friday schedule with generous Paid Time Off (PTO), including Holidays, Vacation, and Sick Days.
