Roofer Multi

The Role
Here at Fortem Solutions we’re currently recruiting for a Roofer Multi to join our Stonewater Housing contract on a full time, permanent basis. This role would be working in our Repairs & Maintenance team, working closely with local tenants to primarily fix Roofing issues, however we would want you to be capable with at least one other Trade. We have a team of Planners in our head office who take calls from tenants and then plan your day out, making sure the houses you attend are in your patch and you have all the information you need before you get there. We’re looking for a Multi Trade, so although we’d expect your primary skill to be in Roofing, we would need you to have basic skills in one or more of Carpentry, Plumbing, Plastering, Tiling, Groundwork, Painting & Decorating or Electrics and be able to undertake jobs without supervision. This would primarily be solo work, however you will be given a company van and fuel card and you’ll have Supervisors on hand should you need any help
