Job Description:
A roofing installer position at Dan Perkins Construction is a seasonal, outdoor construction job and our work window is primary between March 15th and November 15th. The people on the crew, other than shop and office staff, collect unemployment benefits during the winter. Because our production window is limited in this way, we expect our crew to work overtime during the working season, making it possible for our company to meet our yearly production goals and for our employees to make a full year’s pay in a shorter working season.
Roofing work can be very dangerous if not done safely. The first lessons you learn pertain to jobsite safety setup, the proper way to set up and use scaffolding and harnesses, and the proper use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). Once these practices are clear you will learn and install our systems of roof carpentry and the craft of metal roofing.
Dan Perkins Construction represents and provides a specialized hand-crafted roofing product that is known for longevity. We custom manufacture every component of our roof from coils of top-quality steel. It takes a few years for an installer to become competent in the craft of making and installing our product, and we value these dedicated craftsmen highly. We recognize people who learn and grow into this trade and who work the hours required with pay increases proportional to their growth and effort. We are seeking people dedicated to this trade and are willing to build a career here and we provide a working environment that promotes your growth and success in this trade.
