Job description

Preferred Roofing is hiring an experienced Roofing Field Supervisor to join our production team and help oversee residential and commercial roofing projects throughout Southern California.

This is a boots-on-the-ground field management role for someone who knows roofing, understands what quality workmanship looks like, and isn't afraid to hold crews accountable to a high standard.

You'll work directly under the Lead Superintendent, overseeing individual jobs from pre-walk through completion. You'll spend your days visiting active jobsites, communicating with crews and foremen, inspecting workmanship, identifying issues, and making sure projects continue moving in the right direction.

We're looking for someone who is proactive rather than reactive—someone who sees an issue and handles it before it becomes a bigger production or customer problem.

Why Join Preferred Roofing?

• Competitive compensation of approximately $80,000–$90,000 per year with bonus potential
• Join an established Southern California roofing company with 30+ years of experience
• Work with a company that has completed 8,000+ roof replacements and repairs
• Take on a key field leadership role with real ownership and responsibility
• Work alongside experienced roofing and production professionals
• Opportunity to directly impact project quality, efficiency, and the customer experience
• Be part of a growing company with opportunities to develop your career as the organization expands
• Join a team that values quality workmanship, accountability, communication, and customer service
• Spend your time in the field solving problems and moving projects forward—not sitting behind a desk

What You’ll Do

As a Roofing Field Supervisor, you'll manage individual roofing projects in the field and ensure Preferred Roofing's standards are being followed consistently.

You'll serve as an important connection between the Lead Superintendent, roofing crews and foremen, customers, and the production office.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Conduct pre-job walks to identify project requirements and potential issues before work begins
• Visit active roofing jobs throughout the day to monitor progress and workmanship
• Conduct post-job walks and verify work is complete before projects are closed out
• Communicate expectations and project requirements with roofing crews and foremen
• Inspect roofing installations and verify work meets project specifications and company quality standards
• Identify incorrect installations, workmanship concerns, material issues, and other jobsite problems
• Address field issues proactively before they create production delays or customer concerns
• Hold crews accountable for quality, cleanliness, safety, and project expectations
• Monitor project progress and help keep jobs moving toward completion
• Coordinate closely with the Lead Superintendent and production office
• Communicate job status, delays, material needs, change orders, and unexpected conditions
• Document job progress with photos, notes, and project updates
• Complete final walkthroughs and punch lists
• Ensure jobsites remain clean, organized, safe, and professional
• Communicate professionally with homeowners and address jobsite questions or concerns
• Help ensure a consistent customer experience from the start of the project through completion

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes ownership in the field.

You shouldn't need someone to tell you every time something needs attention. You notice when a project is starting to get off track, understand what needs to happen next, and communicate with the right people to get it resolved.

You know enough about roofing to recognize when something isn't being installed correctly. You're comfortable holding a crew accountable while still maintaining productive working relationships.

You're also comfortable working as part of a larger production team. You can take direction from the Lead Superintendent, communicate clearly with the production office, and provide reliable information about what's happening across your assigned jobs.

Most importantly, you're organized, dependable, proactive, customer-friendly, and committed to quality workmanship.

Qualifications

• Previous roofing experience required
• Previous experience supervising roofing or construction crews strongly preferred
• Strong knowledge of residential and/or commercial roofing installation practices
• Ability to recognize improper installation, workmanship issues, and potential jobsite problems
• Experience conducting jobsite inspections, pre-walks, progress inspections, and/or final walkthroughs
• Strong leadership skills and ability to hold crews accountable
• Strong organization and time-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple active jobs and priorities throughout the day
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make sound decisions in the field
• Professional communication and customer-service skills
• Ability to work effectively under a Lead Superintendent and as part of a production team
• Comfortable communicating with homeowners, crews, foremen, management, and office staff
• Comfortable using a smartphone to take jobsite photos and provide project updates
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability to travel between active jobsites throughout the assigned territory
• Spanish/English bilingual skills are a plus

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position means you know what's happening on your assigned jobs—and the Lead Superintendent and production office don't have to chase you for answers.

You're consistently in the field, checking work, communicating with crews, documenting progress, and identifying potential problems early.

Your projects should reflect Preferred Roofing's standards:

• Workmanship meets company expectations
• Crews understand what is expected of them
• Problems are identified and addressed quickly
• Jobs continue moving toward completion
• Pre-walks and post-walks are completed thoroughly
• Jobsites remain clean, organized, and professional
• Customers receive clear, professional communication
• The Lead Superintendent and production office stay informed
• Punch-list items are resolved promptly
• Projects are completed to Preferred Roofing's quality standards
