Your new company With over 25 years of experience across South Australia, this locally owned roofing specialist brings a professional, detail-driven approach to both residential and commercial roof restoration. The team combines tried-and-tested methods--like meticulous roof condition assessments and hot water pressure-cleaning at over 100 °C and 5000 psi--with high-performance, locally manufactured heat-reflective coatings designed to enhance energy efficiency and shield properties from harsh weather. Their core values of quality workmanship, competitive pricing, and trustworthiness underpin a culture focused on long-term results. The company works across a broad spectrum of projects--from restoring ageing iron and colourbond roofs to boosting thermal comfort via modern coatings--offering candidates a role where innovation, hands-on expertise, and a community-minded ethos come together.
Your new role This role offers the opportunity to join a well-established roofing business as a Roof Restoration Trainee, where you will be supported through a comprehensive training programme designed to develop you into an autonomous tradesperson capable of running your own projects.
