Roofing Manager – Wellington

Roofing Manager

Wellington | Commercial Roofing

Are you the person your crew looks to when the job gets tricky? Do you take pride in seeing a commercial roof go on right, on time and on budget? We’re looking for a Roofing Manager to lead our Wellington Roofing team, and we’d love to hear from you, whether you’re ready to step up from Foreman or you’re already running roofing projects and crews.

Who we are

Turfrey is a commercial roofing, plumbing and insulated panel subcontractor with regional teams in Wellington, Waikato, Manawatu and Hawke’s Bay. We’re around 100 people strong, family-led, and proud of the quality we deliver on every site. Our Wellington branch delivers commercial and industrial roofing and insulated panel projects across the region.

Why this role is available

Our current Wellington Roofing Manager is progressing within Turfrey and taking on a new challenge in the business. That’s what growth looks like here. The good news for you is that they’ll still be part of the Turfrey team. You’ll get a thorough handover, and they’ll continue to provide managerial support to you and the Wellington team as you settle in and make the role your own.

The role

You’ll lead our Wellington roofing team of 15, including a small but very capable office team, and oversee the delivery of every roofing project in the region. You’ll plan the work, put the right people and resources in the right place, and make sure each job is delivered to a high standard, safely and on margin. You’ll also be the face of Turfrey for our Wellington clients. They’ll rely on you to keep them informed, sort out issues fast and deliver on what we promise.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll spend most of your time managing projects and people, in the office and out on site, but you’re not afraid to jump on the tools if the job needs it.

What you’ll do

• Plan and deliver commercial roofing projects, assigning labour and resources to meet deadlines and margin targets.
• Monitor job progress, manage variations, and keep project documentation, costs and schedules up to date.
• Lead, mentor and support your team, including our apprentices, with regular feedback, training and development.
• Build a positive, purposeful team culture where people do great work and feel part of the Turfrey family.
• Keep clients, site managers and suppliers informed, respond quickly to issues and solve problems before they grow.
• Make sure every job meets our quality standards and compliance requirements.
• Lead by example on Health & Safety, making sure policies and procedures are followed on every site.

What you’ll bring

You might be:

• An experienced Roofing Foreman who’s ready to step up into management, or
• An experienced Roofing Manager who’s already running roofing projects and crews.

Either way, you’ll have:

• Solid commercial roofing experience, and a strong understanding of roofing systems and installation.
• Proven experience leading a team on site, and a genuine interest in developing people.
• Good project management skills. You can plan, schedule and juggle multiple jobs at once.
• An eye for quality and a good head for numbers, including costs, variations and margins.
• Real confidence dealing with clients. You’ll front the Turfrey name in Wellington, so you’re professional, approachable and super dependable. You do what you say you’ll do, tackle issues quickly before they become problems, and build lasting relationships with clients, site managers and suppliers.
• A strong commitment to Health & Safety.
• Confidence using technology, including apps for site documentation and Health & Safety.

What’s in it for you

• A company vehicle, phone and laptop
• A paid day off on your birthday
• Long service bonuses
• A thorough handover and ongoing support from an experienced Turfrey manager
• Training, development and room to keep growing your career with us – our people progress here
• A business that lives its values: Dependable, Proud, Family, Growth, Energy
