About Gerry’s Roofing & Siding

Gerry’s Roofing & Siding has been serving homeowners for over 45 years by providing trustworthy service, excellent workmanship, and beautiful exterior renovation results.

We specialize in residential roofing, siding, eavestrough, windows, doors, skylights, and bathrooms. We are a growing company with a strong reputation in the Hamilton and surrounding area, and we are building the leadership team required to scale aggresively over the next 3-5 years.

We are looking for a true Production Manager, someone who can lead the entire production department, protect gross margin, improve customer experience, hold crews accountable, and build scalable systems.

This is not just a project coordination role. This is a leadership role for someone who can run Production with ownership, discipline, and excellence.

The Opportunity

The Production Manager will be responsible for ensuring that sold work is installed profitably, on schedule, to quality standard, and with an excellent customer experience.

The right person will be proactive, organized, accurate, steady under pressure, and committed to high standards. You should be able to lead people, manage details, solve problems quickly, and build trust with customers, crews, sales, finance, and company leadership.

You should treat every project as if it were being completed on your own family home.
