Roofing Repair Specialist / Working Foreman

Leopard Roofing | South Jersey

Pay: $30-$38/hour, based on experience

Leopard Roofing is growing, and we're looking for an experienced roofing professional who can do two things extremely well:

1. Diagnose and repair roofs correctly.
2. Lead a full roof installation when needed.

This is not an entry-level roofing position.

We are looking for someone who understands roofing systems, can troubleshoot water intrusion instead of guessing, is comfortable working independently, communicates well with homeowners, and can step into a Working Foreman role when one of our installation crews is completing a full roof replacement.

If you've spent years actually fixing roof problems, understand flashing and water movement, and can walk onto a job site and take ownership, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

ROOF REPAIR & SERVICE

On repair and service days, you will independently handle residential roofing issues including:

• Leak diagnosis and troubleshooting
• Asphalt shingle repairs
• Missing, damaged, loose, or improperly installed shingles
• Pipe boot and penetration repairs
• Step flashing
• Wall flashing
• Chimney flashing
• Valley repairs
• Ridge and ridge-vent repairs
• Roof-to-wall transitions
• Ventilation issues
• Skylight-related roofing repairs
• Minor decking replacement
• Low-slope roofing repairs
• Modified-bitumen/self-adhered systems such as GAF Liberty
• Minor fascia, soffit, siding, and exterior repairs associated with roofing problems
• Emergency temporary repairs when appropriate
• Attic inspections to help trace water intrusion

We are specifically looking for someone who knows the difference between fixing the source of a leak and simply covering something with sealant.

You should understand how water travels through a roofing system and know how to investigate before making a repair.

WORKING FOREMAN / FULL ROOF INSTALLATIONS

When Leopard Roofing has a full roof replacement underway, your role may transition from Service Technician to Working Foreman.

You will serve as Leopard Roofing's on-site field representative.

Responsibilities may include:

• Reviewing the project scope before installation begins
• Coordinating with the installation crew
• Confirming materials and accessories
• Monitoring tear-off
• Inspecting exposed decking
• Photographing unforeseen conditions
• Reporting additional work before it is completed
• Monitoring installation quality
• Checking flashing details
• Checking valleys, penetrations and transitions
• Confirming ventilation requirements
• Monitoring underlayment, starter, drip edge and ridge installation
• Handling small field issues before they become big ones
• Making material runs when necessary
• Maintaining job-site cleanliness and property protection
• Communicating with the homeowner throughout the project
• Performing final quality-control inspections
• Creating and completing punch-list items

We are not looking for someone to stand in the driveway and watch another crew work.

We want a working field leader who understands roofing well enough to identify problems, solve problems and protect our quality standards.

CUSTOMER RELATIONS MATTER

Roofing knowledge is extremely important.

So is how you treat people.

You may often be the Leopard Roofing representative a homeowner sees throughout their repair or roof replacement.

You must be able to:

• Communicate professionally
• Explain roofing problems in plain English
• Treat customers and their homes with respect
• Stay calm when problems arise
• Keep customers informed
• Avoid promising work or pricing that has not been approved
• Communicate honestly with management
• Represent Leopard Roofing professionally without the owner having to be on site

DOCUMENTATION

Every job should tell a story.

You'll be expected to provide:

• Before photos
• Photos showing the source of the problem
• During-work photos
• Completed-work photos
• Photos of unexpected damage
• Basic field notes
• Materials used
• Additional recommendations when appropriate
• Confirmation that the property was cleaned and inspected

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate has significant hands-on residential roofing experience.

Strong candidates should understand:

• Asphalt shingle roofing
• Roof repairs
• Leak diagnosis
• Flashing systems
• Pipe penetrations
• Valleys
• Ventilation
• Tear-offs
• Deck replacement
• Full roof installations
• Basic low-slope roofing systems
• Roofing safety

Previous foreman, crew-lead, service technician, or repair technician experience is strongly preferred.

However, we care more about what you can actually do than what your previous title said.

THIS POSITION IS A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

• Can diagnose roof leaks instead of guessing
• Take pride in craftsmanship
• Don't hide mistakes
• Can work independently
• Know how to lead a crew without creating unnecessary conflict
• Understand when to make a field decision and when to call management
• Can communicate professionally with homeowners
• Keep a clean and organized job site
• Care about the finished product
• Are dependable
• Don't cut corners when nobody is watching

REQUIREMENTS

• Proven roofing experience
• Valid driver's license
• Reliable transportation
• Comfortable working from ladders and on residential roofs
• Ability to safely perform roofing and repair work
• Ability to use standard roofing and construction tools
• Smartphone capable of taking and submitting job-site photographs
• Strong communication skills
• Dependable attendance
• Ability to work independently

OSHA training is a plus.

Manufacturer certifications are a plus.

Foreman or crew-lead experience is a major plus.

PAY

$30-$38 per hour depending on experience, repair ability and leadership experience.

We are willing to pay for someone who genuinely understands roofing and can take responsibility in the field.

This is not a position where simply having "construction experience" automatically qualifies someone for the top of the range.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

Leopard Roofing is a growing roofing and exterior company.

This position is being created because our roofing volume is growing and we need another trusted field leader.

Someone who proves they can independently handle service work, maintain quality standards, lead installation projects and build strong relationships with customers will have significant room to grow with the company.

We're not simply looking for another roofer.

We're looking for someone we can trust with the roof when the owner isn't standing there.

If that's you, apply and tell us about your roofing experience.

We never miss a spot.
