Roofer
Work Description:The signature feature of many construction projects is often the roof. Much of St. Louis’ historic architecture is found in the craftsmanship of roofs — especially on churches. Roofers built them and roofers maintain them to this day. Roofers lay roofing material and install a variety of roofing systems, including built-up and single-ply systems. They also work on steep roofs, applying slate or tile roofing. Roofers also perform waterproofing below grade and on plaza decks, parking garage floors and other building sections where moisture protection is critical. Roofers must be able and willing to work in extreme heat and sun at varying heights, performing a great deal of hand work, including the removal of old roofing materials. Apprentice Age: Minimum: 18 years Maximum: None Training Program: Roofers begin as pre-apprentices and receive 500 hours of on-the-job training before becoming apprentices. As apprentices, they receive 4,000 hours of on-the-job and classroom training. Apprentices attend classes in the evening on their own time. Application Process: Applications are accepted every Monday from 8 a.m. to noon (except holidays). Applicants meeting qualifications must participate in an interview when notified.
