Job Description

About Wolfenburg Roofing:

At Wolfenburg Roofing, we specialize in flat roofing systems for both commercial and residential properties. Headquartered in Ottawa, we've built a reputation over the years for high-quality workmanship, reliable service, and a no-nonsense, straight-talking approach to roofing. We pride ourselves on being efficient, responsive, and professional--without the fluff. Our team is made up of people who take pride in their work, look out for each other, and get the job done right.

We're not your average roofing company. We're serious about process, safety, and quality, but we also know the importance of building a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether it's a small residential leak repair or a major commercial install, we treat every job like it matters--because it does.

Now, we're bringing that same energy and high standard of work to the Greater Toronto Area. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future of Wolfenburg Roofing in Toronto.

Production Manager & Estimator - GTA

Job Summary:

Wolfenburg is expanding into the Greater Toronto Area, and we're hiring a versatile and driven Production Manager & Estimator to help us establish our presence in this new market.

This role is foundational--you will be our eyes and ears in Toronto, responsible for both managing project execution and personally handling all estimating duties for commercial and residential flat roofing projects. As the business grows, this dual role will eventually evolve into two distinct positions: a full-time Production Manager and a dedicated Estimator. This gives you the opportunity to grow into a leadership position, help shape our Toronto operations, and build a local team with support from our head office in Ottawa.

If you're ready to take ownership, wear multiple hats, and be a key player in launching a new territory, we want to hear from you.
