Lead Shingler / Roofing Foreman
Wynker Brothers Exteriors is hiring an experienced Lead Shingler / Roofing Foreman to help lead and develop a dedicated shingle roofing crew.
We are a growing exterior company based in Chilliwack, BC, providing high-quality roofing and exterior solutions throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. We value hard work, integrity, quality craftsmanship, safety, and a positive team environment.
This is a hands-on leadership role for a strong shingle installer who can lead from the front, train newer installers, keep jobs organized, and help set the standard for our shingle roofing work.

When shingle projects are not available, there will be opportunities to assist with metal roofing and exterior installation work. With the right training, this role may also grow into producing full metal roofing jobs in the future.
This is a long-term opportunity for someone who wants steady work, leadership responsibility, and room to grow with the company.
