Would it change your work life… …if you could work for a roofing company that paid top dollar, gave you the opportunity to progress, valued your input, provided training, showed genuine appreciation and was just good fun? For most roofers the answer is a big FAT YES… but finding a roofing company that actually gets how to treat people right seems harder than it should be. ⸻ My Story (Laurence – Director) I’ve been where you are. I worked to my own high standards, but went home most days feeling unappreciated. No thanks, no feedback, no communication. The boss was too busy to listen, opportunities to progress didn’t exist, and training was rare. I thought changing jobs and earning a bit more money would fix it. The extra money was nice, but I quickly realised I wanted more than just a paycheck. If this sounds familiar, you’ll be happy to know it doesn’t have to be that way. ⸻ Why Storm Tech is Different We realised early on that if we wanted to be Hawke’s Bay’s best roofing company, we had to build a workplace people were proud to be part of. So we did it better. Now we’ve got a skilled and motivated crew of roofers and cladders who are in it for the long term. We: • Invest in training and upskilling. • Meet regularly as a team to improve how we work. • Share success and show appreciation. • Run a culture where communication and teamwork matter. The biggest change? We know hard work deserves thanks and reward. ⸻ The Opportunity Our business is growing and we need 2 Leading Hand / Team Leader Roofers — A-players with proven experience running sites and leading crews. ⸻ ✅ Benefits • $45–$50/hr depending on experience • $2,000 sign-on bonus 💰 • Company vehicle + phone • Up to $1,000 tool allowance • Fresh uniforms, wet weather gear & boots provided • Paid day off on your birthday 🎂 • Beers, BBQs & strong crew culture • Ongoing training & clear career progression • Work on a variety of roofing & cladding projects you’ll be proud of ⸻ 👷 Who We’re Looking For • Proven longrun roofing experience (Colorsteel, tray, cladding) • Able to run sites & motivate a small team • Organised, honest, and quality-driven • Current driver’s licence • Great communicator with both clients & crew ⸻ ⚡ Apprenticeships We also take on 1–2 apprentices a year — but only the best of the best. If you’ve got the right attitude and drive, this is your chance. ⸻ How to Apply 📩 Send your CV and a short cover letter to laurence@stormtechroofingnz.com Please include a photo so we can put a face to the name. 💵 Know someone perfect? If we hire them, we’ll pay you a $1,000 referral bonus. I look forward to talking with you. — Laurence Storm Tech Roofing 👉 stormtechroofingnz.com
