If you’re an experienced roofer looking for a different challenge, within the roofing industry, this hiring ad is for you. WHO ARE WE Robur Construction is a new-age roofing/construction business based in SW London. We are on a mission to help homeowners receive quality new roofs they can trust, whilst receiving a world class customer experience. We aim to do this by bringing a new age perspective to the roofing industry, combining engineering backed workmanship with unrivalled customer care and communication. We are focusing purely on re-roofs and are looking to become the go-to company in SW London for this type of roofing work. Being 100% upfront, we are a very new company - we’ve only just launched this year and are subsequently on the hunt for an experienced roofer to join our team quickly, as we find our feet in the market. To talk you through our current state, here’s a bit about our company vision and our team’s track history, so you understand why this is a different project to most that you see online… Firstly, we’ll introduce you to our two Founders, Christian and Grizel. Christian has helped scale over 60 home improvement companies across the UK to 6 or 7 figures in annual revenue, including 3 roofing firms to 7 figures - through his Lead Generation, Sales and Growth Consultancy for trade businesses in the UK. He understands the roofing business model inside-out. Grizel comes from a prestigious construction & engineering background; with a masters degree in civil engineering, she spent the last 2 years working as a structural engineer at one of the world’s top engineering firms (Arup), on some of the world’s most exciting engineering projects. She has also recently become an accredited roofer and tiler. With Christian’s vast experience scaling Roofing companies through his other business, and Grizel’s impressive background in working on some of the world’s largest construction projects, the vision for Robur is to scale to 7 figures within the next 6-12 months, whilst bringing Londoners a youthful, modern and customer centric experience, that is hard to find in the current roofing market. Although this vision & cohesion of Founder skill sets sets Robur apart from your typical roofing company, the project does lack one critical area currently that we’re looking to solve… Having someone on the team who has many years of experience as a roofing professional, who’s been battle tested on-site, who’s ready to step into the fold as a leader, and bring a wealth of practical industry knowledge to the team. If the above does not excite you, please do not apply. Here is an outline of the role and the type of person we are looking for. JOB DESCRIPTION The core of the role is to be the roofing leader on site.

As well as being the lead on site, another crucial aspect to the role will be to act as an internal consultant, working closely with our two founders. You will bring crucial on-site technical knowledge/experience to the table, that bridges the gaps in our otherwise widely experienced founders’ knowledge base. Overall, the best candidate for this role will lead their jobs on site to completion all whilst maintaining a high quality of work, good time management, quality leadership, and clear communication with their team, clients and company directors. The application code word is “mitre”. As you can see, there is a lot of responsibility for the right candidate. If your skill set does not align with the above skill set, please do not apply. This local position is full-time, Mon-Fri. This is a critical position within the business, as such, we host a rigorous, 4-part application process.

Making sure projects are finished to the highest standard possible. Communicating positively and effectively with customers where necessary. Consulting with the Founders on roofing topics.

COMPENSATION £42,000-£62,500 Paid Holiday Loyalty bonuses Punctuality bonuses Performance bonuses For the right candidate we will build roofing teams beneath them - promotion opportunity. FINAL THOUGHTS The person who steps into this role will be helping us build Robur from the ground up and as a result will be stepping into an environment full of challenge, responsibility and a whole lot of fun. This will be a different role to most available on the market, as you will be a key figure in the company, not only carrying out traditional roofing tasks but also helping the Founders to build a truly great company. We’re looking for someone to fill this seat long term, who is bought in on the vision and ready to help us build. The right person will be excited by this opening, and up for the challenge.
