Why Nations Roof

Working closely with the Operations Manager and Project Managers, you will coordinate daily jobsite activities, support foremen and crews, and verify that installations meet project specifications, manufacturer requirements, and company standards.

This is a field-focused role for someone who enjoys being on the roof, solving installation challenges, and keeping projects moving.

• Support QA/QC testing: Perform and document seam probing and specified test cuts or other verification testing as directed. Follow through on corrective work and punch list items.

• Identify field challenges early: Report deck concerns, moisture conditions, weather impacts, material shortages, and installation issues to the Operations Manager or Project Manager.

• Keep accurate daily records: Complete project reports, photos, safety forms, time verification, and required software updates each day.
