Roofing Industries is a New Zealand manufacturer and supplier of metal roofing and cladding products, proudly supporting roofers and builders nationwide.

We're looking for a Site Leader to run our Christchurch branch.

You'll own the day-to-day performance of the site — sales, margin, operations, and people — making sure everything runs safely, efficiently, and profitably.

What you'll be doing

• Managing P&L, sales, margin, and expenses for the site
• Setting targets and taking quick corrective action when performance slips
• Running operations to hit DIFOT, stock availability, and safety standards
• Managing pricing, margin protection, and follow-up on open quotes
• Acting as relationship manager for key customers, including resolving escalated issues
• Building supplier relationships and local marketing/procurement plans
• Spotting cross-sell opportunities and growing referral networks
• Leading daily safety walks, Toolbox Talks, and H&S Committee meetings
• Coaching your team on leadership, selling skills, and problem-solving
• Supporting talent attraction, development, and succession planning on site

What you'll bring

• Strong background in distribution operations and B2B, with a track record of growing sales and margin
• Hands-on experience managing P&L and balance sheets, understanding what drives returns
• An understanding of stock management — keeping availability up and obsolescence down
• Proven leadership in warehouse and/or sales environments (manufacturing experience a plus)
• A genuine commitment to customer service and long-term relationships
• Experience leading larger teams, including talent development and succession planning
• Ability to read market trends and turn them into a growth strategy — and execute it
• Confident communicator, comfortable talking to everyone from customers to senior leaders
• Strong organisational skills — juggling priorities in a fast-paced site
• A team player who brings initiative and resourcefulness to problem-solving
• Tertiary qualification preferred; minimum 5 years in a sales/operations leadership role in a multi-site network
• A valid work visa or the right to work in New Zealand
• Able to pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol test

What's in it for you

• Fully maintained company vehicle, full private use
• Enhanced KiwiSaver
• Health and wellness programmes
• A flat structure that trusts you to lead and own your results
• Long-term career stability, backed by the Vulcan Steel Group
