Earn $90k-$120k doing residential re-roofing on the Gold Coast. Company vehicle, steady insurance work, and a clear path to leading hand.
Why Apply

Good roofers are everywhere. Roofers who take ownership, deliver zero defects, and are ready to step up are not.

Newport Metal Roofing is based on the Gold Coast and works predominantly across insurance re-roofing in SE Queensland and into northern NSW. They pay well, they give you the tools to do the job properly, and they want someone who is ready to grow into a leading hand role, not someone who has already stopped learning.
  • Earn $90k–$120k per year (salary based on experience and capability)
  • Company vehicle provided, no running your own vehicle to site
  • Steady insurance re-roofing pipeline, residential focused with commercial on the side
  • Genuine path to leading hand, this is built into the role from day one
  • Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm, predictable hours with no rosters or shift work
  • Gold Coast base with manageable travel into SE QLD and northern NSW
The Role

You will be carrying out metal re-roofing works across residential and occasional commercial sites on the Gold Coast and surrounding SE Queensland, with some travel into northern NSW. The work is predominantly insurance-driven, which means consistent pipeline and a structured approach to every job.

Day to day you will be:
  • Stripping and replacing metal roofing on residential re-roofing jobs
  • Managing insurance re-roofing documentation and scope requirements
  • Identifying and reporting site issues including structural damage, rot, and scope variations
  • Delivering clean, defect-free work with zero call-backs
  • Keeping jobs on schedule and meeting insurer deadlines
  • Working independently on site and owning the job from start to finish
  • Building toward and taking on leading hand responsibilities over time
Standard hours are 7am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. Company vehicle provided for site travel.

What We Need
  • Proven hands-on experience in metal re-roofing, this is not a role for someone still learning the basics
  • A current driver's licence
  • Ability to work independently and take full ownership of a job without needing to be managed
  • A track record of clean workmanship, no defects, no call-backs, and references that back it up
  • Understanding of insurance re-roofing processes, scope documentation, and variation reporting
  • Good attitude and the ability to work professionally with clients, insurers, and crew
  • Comfortable with some travel into SE QLD and northern NSW as part of the role
Why This Role

At $90k to $120k, this pays well above what most roofing roles in SE QLD offer at the trades level. Add a company vehicle and a genuine leading hand pathway and this is a rare package for someone who is ready to back themselves.

The insurance re-roofing pipeline means you are not dependent on the new build market or chasing the next contract. Steady work, good money, and a boss who wants to develop the right person into a leadership role.
