Metal Roofing Technician

Metal Roofing Technician Buford, GA 30518 Full-time Full-time

WHO WE ARE

Wormley Brothers is a nearly 40-year-old commercial roofing contractor serving Georgia and the Southeast. We've built a reputation on quality workmanship, dependable service, and national certifications

• the kind of company GCs call when they need it done right.

Recently, we joined LCAB Holdings, a veteran-owned construction holding company. That means more resources, better systems, and room to grow while keeping what made us successful in the first place. Metal is its own discipline. We're looking for someone who knows that and has the hands to prove it.

THE ROLE

Location:

Buford, GA (Field-based — Greater Atlanta & Southeast region)

Reports To:

Foreman / Project Manager |

Works With:

Roofing Crews, GCs, Fabricators You're a metal specialist. You install standing seam, work with structural and architectural panels, fabricate custom flashings and trim in the field, and leave a roof that looks as precise as it performs. This isn't a "know a little about metal" role. You're the person who gets called when the detail is complicated, the panel run is long, or the trim work has to be perfect. That requires real experience with metal, not just time around it. Where you'll spend your time: 55% Panel installation

• standing seam, R-panel, structural and architectural systems 25% Trim, flashing, and detail work
• field fabrication, copings, transitions, penetrations 10% Layout and planning
• reading shop drawings, sequencing panel runs, coordinating with crew 10% Repairs and remediation
• metal system repairs, re-seaming, flashing replacement

Translation:

You install metal systems that perform and look the part. Precision isn't optional.

Job:

Coordinate panel layout and sequencing with the Foreman before the first panel goes down Stage materials efficiently: metal panels require careful handling to avoid damage Work safely at height with fall protection, roof brackets, and mobile elevating equipment Maintain tools and equipment

• a dull brake or a dirty seamer shows up in your work Document any field deviations from drawings and communicate them to the PM immediately

Southeast Standout Attributes:

Work alongside people who care about getting it right and won't ask you to cut corners Fair compensation: Competitive hourly rate DOE + comprehensive benefits (401(k), medical, dental, vision) Equipped to work: Quality tools, organized material handling, and support from experienced PMs

THIS WON'T WORK IF YOU

Have general roofing experience but limited time actually installing metal panel systems Struggle with precision

• metal doesn't hide mistakes the way membrane does Aren't comfortable with field fabrication and brake work Need someone to interpret shop drawings for you before you can start Treat trim and flashing details as an afterthought to the panel installation Can't work independently when the Foreman is managing other parts of the job

HOW TO APPLY

Submit:

Resume + a few sentences answering these questions: 1. What metal roofing systems have you installed, and which are you most experienced with? Be specific (panel profiles, manufacturers, seam types). 2. Describe a metal detail

• flashing, transition, or penetration
• that required field fabrication to solve.

What did you do? 3. What's the longest standing seam panel run you've been part of installing? What were the main challenges?

Hiring Process:

1. Initial screening (20 min phone with Project Manager) 2. Interview with Project Manager and GM (45 min) 3. Field assessment on an active metal project 4. Decision within 1 week 5. Start date flexible (ideally within 30 days)

FINAL THOUGHT

Metal roofing is a specialty. It takes patience, precision, and a real understanding of how metal moves, expands, and performs over time. You can't fake it. We've been in commercial roofing for nearly four decades because we don't put people in roles they're not ready for. We invest in people who are ready to do the work at a high level. If you take the time to get a panel run straight before the first clip goes in

• and it bothers you when someone else doesn't
• let's talk.
