About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a highly respected specialist architectural roofing and cladding contractor to recruit experienced Metal Cladding Installers for a growing pipeline of high-end commercial, architectural, heritage and bespoke projects across Sydney.

The Ideal Candidate
If your background is primarily installing standard Colorbond, corrugated or commodity metal roofing, this role may not be the right fit.
The focus here is on specialist architectural metalwork.
You will be working with materials such as Zinc, Copper, Aluminium, Brass, Stainless Steel and Titanium Zinc, installing systems where the finished product is highly visible and forms an important part of the building's architectural design.
Projects can involve complex geometries, bespoke fabrication, detailed interfaces and demanding architectural finishes.
This role would suit an experienced installer who has progressed beyond standard commercial roofing and cladding and wants to work on high-end architectural projects where the quality of the installation genuinely matters.
Candidates from specialist European roofing and metalwork backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.
