Roofing Apprentice – Learn, Earn, and Build Your Future

Are you looking for a hands-on career where you can learn a valuable trade, work outdoors, and set yourself up with long-term opportunities? We’re offering an exciting chance to join our team as aRoofing Apprentice.

This is more than just a job — it’s a pathway into a stable industry where skilled workers are always in demand. You’ll be supported every step of the way as you train, gain experience, and work toward industry-recognised qualifications.

About the Role

As a Roofing Apprentice, you’ll be working alongside highly skilled roofers who will teach you all areas of the trade. You’ll get real, on-the-job experience across:

• Pitched and flat roof installations
• Tile and metal roofing systems
• Roof maintenance and leak repairs
• Safe removal and replacement of damaged sections
• General site setup and clean-up

This role is ideal if you like being outdoors, enjoy physical work, and prefer learning by doing rather than sitting behind a desk.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Your daily work will involve a mix of hands-on tasks, training, and teamwork, such as:

• Assisting with the setup of job sites, including preparing tools, materials, and equipment
• Removing old roofing and helping install new systems
• Learning how to identify roof damage, leaks, and structural issues
• Using hand tools and power tools safely and correctly
• Following health and safety requirements at all times
• Working as part of a crew to keep the site organised, efficient, and safe
• Taking guidance and feedback from senior roofers to build your skills

What We’re Looking For

We’re not expecting you to know everything — we’ll teach you. What we do need is someone who brings the right attitude and willingness to learn. Ideally, you’ll have:

• A strong work ethic and reliability — we need people who show up on time and give their best effort
• An interest in building and construction, or simply a desire to learn a trade
• Good teamwork and communication skills — roofing is never a one-person job
• Physical fitness and confidence working outdoors in all weather
• Comfort with working at heights (full safety training is provided)
• A current Australian driver’s licence (essential for travel to job sites)

No previous experience is necessary — just motivation and a positive attitude.

What You’ll Gain

We want you to succeed, and we’ll invest in your development. Here’s what you can expect:

• Paid Apprenticeship– earn while you learn
• Formal Training– structured training through TAFE or a registered training provider, leading to an industry-recognised qualification (Certificate III in Roofing)
• Mentorship– guidance from experienced roofers who’ll share their skills and knowledge
• Supportive Team Environment– you’ll never be left on your own without help or direction
• Career Progression– opportunities to advance to qualified tradesperson, site supervisor, or even start your own business in the future

Why Choose Roofing?

Roofing is a trade that combines skill, strength, and problem-solving. No two jobs are the same, and the skills you gain are valuable across Australia and beyond. It’s a career with:

• Job security in a high-demand industry
• Variety in daily work and locations
• The satisfaction of creating something solid and long-lasting
