Job description

You know what a well-run roofing operation should look like. Here’s your opportunity to help build it.

You know how to get a commercial roofing project from signed contract to successful closeout. You understand the planning behind a productive crew, the decisions that protect a job’s margin, and the communication that earns a customer’s trust.

Now, imagine putting that experience to work in a leadership role where you have the authority to make decisions, direct access to ownership, and a meaningful voice in how the business grows.

Executive Roofing Systems is hiring an experienced commercial roofing leader to oversee project execution, field production, and service operations while helping shape our next stage of growth.

We’re a growing, family-owned commercial roofing contractor serving New Jersey and surrounding areas. We have an established customer base, ambitious plans, and a commitment to investing in the people and systems that will support our future.

This is an opportunity to put your experience, judgment, and ideas into practice across the operation.

Why this opportunity deserves your attention

Your experience will influence how we operate. Work directly with ownership to strengthen planning, improve workflows, develop people, and help determine how the department grows.

You’ll have room to lead. Make day-to-day operational decisions, establish clear expectations, and bring structure to the work with the autonomy to follow through.

Your results have earning potential. Alongside a $125,000–$175,000 annual salary based on experience, performance and profitability bonuses reward the operational results you help deliver.

You can build something that lasts. Better scheduling. Stronger field leadership. More consistent execution. The improvements you make will help shape the department as the company grows.

Your role in the field and on the leadership team

You’ll sit on the Executive Roofing Systems leadership team and work directly with ownership to set operational priorities. In the field, you’ll lead both the project and service departments, personally manage commercial roofing installations and replacements from handoff through closeout, and oversee the day-to-day work of both teams.

What you’ll be responsible for

• Delivering successful projects. Coordinate schedules, staffing, subcontractors, materials, equipment, and logistics across multiple jobs.
• Protecting profitability. Manage budgets, buyouts, job costs, change orders, and resource decisions to keep projects at or above estimated margins.
• Keeping service responsive and organized. Oversee scheduling, field productivity, and execution for leak response, repairs, maintenance, and smaller projects.
• Developing a dependable team. Coach field and production personnel, support hiring and training, and establish clear accountability for performance.
• Setting the standard in the field. Uphold safety, workmanship, manufacturer specifications, and jobsite professionalism while reducing preventable delays, rework, and callbacks.
• Strengthening the operation. Improve handoffs, communication, processes, and reporting so the business can support continued growth.
• Earning customer confidence. Keep customers informed, address concerns promptly, and deliver a professional experience through completion.

The experience you’ll bring

You’re an established commercial roofing professional who can connect field execution, team performance, and financial results.

• 7+ years in commercial roofing project management, production management, or field operations, including significant leadership responsibility.
• Strong technical knowledge of TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and related roofing applications.
• Experience managing multiple projects, crews, subcontractors, schedules, and budgets simultaneously.
• Experience overseeing commercial roofing service work, including repairs, maintenance, and leak response.
• A solid command of purchasing, labor planning, job costing, change orders, and profitability.
• Confidence using construction management technology, reporting tools, and operational systems.
• The judgment to make decisions independently and the communication skills to bring people with you.

Experience helping a growing contractor organize or scale its operations is especially valuable.

How we work

All In, All the Way. Stay Three Steps Ahead. Find a Way Forward. Make People Say Wow. Be a Good Human.

We value people who prepare thoroughly, take responsibility, solve problems, and treat customers and coworkers with respect.

Bring your experience and help shape what comes next

You’ve built the experience to lead projects, develop people, and deliver results. At Executive Roofing Systems, you’ll have the opportunity to bring those strengths together, work directly with ownership, and help shape the future of a growing company.

Your next career move could be the operation you help build.
