Positions Available:
Mechanic
Job description:
- Report to work every workday at assigned time. Each morning requires setting up equipment. If one person is late, this affects the performance of the group.
- Each morning, check with the foreman regarding materials required from the warehouse for that day’s work and load same on truck. “Back up” the foreman by remembering items from the day before.
- On most occasions, the truck will be loaded the night before to save loading time in the morning. Do not overload the truck; see the Production Manager for proper weight loading of the truck. A truck should not sit with a full load overnight.
- Before the truck leaves the warehouse, double-check to make sure all items are safely secured to prevent damage during transit. Double-check that all ladders and planks are properly secured. Ladders should not hang over the back of the truck more than three feet without a red flag.
- If starting a new job, check to see if job sign was installed by estimator. If job sign has not been installed and pre-installation checklist calls for one, make sure the apprentice installs the job sign. If no apprentice, the mechanic installs the sign.
- Understand fully the scope of the work for that day, as per the foreman.
- Unload materials and equipment from truck with apprentice, showing apprentice the best place to put materials, close to the working area but not in the customer’s access to the house or garage. Avoid stockpiling material on lawns to avoid grass damage.
- Safely set up equipment as assigned by foreman.
- Make sure all ladders are set or “blocked” at bottom to prevent slipping and tied to the top.
- Put gutter board or standoff at top of ladder to prevent damage to the customer’s gutters.

- A mechanic shall not use a fusing torch unless he is a Certified Torch Mechanic. The field supervisor will issue a torch to mechanics approved for fused applications. Never allow an apprentice to use a torch without training and constant supervision.

General Guidelines
Due to varied types of jobs, it is not possible to set down exact job descriptions for each person since different jobs take different amount of people. However, the Mechanic should be the main producer installing material. If he has an Apprentice, the Apprentice should be instructed to perform work of less importance compared to actual material installation. An Apprentice is only productive if the Mechanic properly instructs and guides him. It is the Mechanic’s responsibility to see that the Apprentice is utilized properly. If there is no Apprentice, the Mechanic assumes his duties.
Relationship to other jobs
Mechanic can be promoted to Foreman after learning all roofing, leadership, and customer relation skills and has shown he can handle apprentices under his direction.
