The work that we do ensures that buildings are structurally sound, dry and most importantly, safe for those who enter. Duties and Responsibilities While your day-to-day duties and responsibilities are determined by each unique job, there are many core tasks associated with the role; these include: Removal and Installation of Materials Our primary job is to construct a weatherproof barrier by installing underlayment followed by its corresponding material (i.e. shingles, metal panels, or waterproof membranes). Prior to this process, we often must remove existing layers in order to thoroughly assess whether parts of the roof/decking must be replaced because of rotting or excessive weathering and address them accordingly. Once installation begins, you will be required to assist project leads with removal of scrap from specified work areas, stocking materials, and providing an extra set of hands when needed. Complete Site Set Up and Clean Up Preparing and cleaning up a job location is essential to completing daily tasks. When we first arrive on site, you will set up ladders, scaffolding, and other temporary structures. These tools enable us to conduct all needed work in a safe way.
