Te Awamutu - Experienced Roofer – Pride & Perks
Would it change your life if you could work for a roofing company that not only pays top dollar and backs your growth, but also throws in some outside-the-box perks, keeps the good times rolling with epic team events — and genuinely appreciates the work you put in, believing that their success should be your success too?
Before I tell you about the job and who we’re looking for, I want to tell you my story — because I’ve been where you are now.I’ve seen first-hand how good people can lose their spark when the culture’s not right — when there’s no real communication, appreciation, or sense of belonging. The truth is, it’s not a lack of skill that holds people back, it’s the environment they’re in.
Great people thrive in great cultures — where teamwork, feedback, and respect are part of everyday life. That’s exactly what we’ve built here.
If this sounds familiar, you’ll be happy to know it doesn’t have to be that way.
Who We Are
We’re Roofing Craftsmen Ltd, and for over 7 years we’ve been raising the bar in architectural roofing and cladding across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
From day one, our goal’s been to build a crew where everyone wins — where if you give your best, you get it back. We’ve always believed that success should be shared, and the people who help the company grow deserve to be rewarded for it.
These days, we’ve got a tight crew who feel genuinely backed and appreciated — trusted to do great work and supported to keep getting better. We focus on communication, teamwork, and growth, and we make a big deal out of great attitudes and commitment — because we reckon attitude beats skill every time.Around here, culture isn’t a buzzword — it’s how we work.
The Role: Experienced RooferWe’re on the lookout for a top-class roofer who takes pride in precision, craftsmanship, and doing things right. You’ll be working across high-end residential, commercial, and architectural builds — where quality counts and details matter.
You’ll be part of a tight-knit team that values attitude above all else — because we can teach skill, but we can’t teach drive. If you’re proactive, reliable, and keen to keep levelling up, this is where you’ll thrive. Bring the right mindset, and you’ll go far here.
