Hippo Roofing is a third-generation roofing family with a real Headquarters in Melbourne, steady year-round work across Brevard County, and a crew that has been together for years. If you want to build a career in roofing rather than chase storms from town to town, we would like to meet you.
Join the Hippo team
We have been roofing Brevard since 2008 and we plan to be here long after the out-of-town trucks leave. That means we hire for the long run: people who show up, take pride in the roof they leave behind, and treat homeowners like family. In return you get a company that pays on time, trains you properly, and has a path forward when you are ready for more.
What it is like to work here
- Safety first, every day. Fall protection on every roof, the right equipment, and training in how to use it. Nobody is asked to hurry at the expense of coming home safe.
- Real employment. W-2 pay, paid holidays after your first year, and paid time off for eligible full-time team members.
- Year-round work. Replacement, repair, metal, tile, flat and commercial roofing keeps the schedule full in every season, not just after a storm.
- A team, not a gig. Weekly production meetings, a Headquarters you can walk into, and leaders who started on the roof themselves.
- Room to grow. Installers become crew leads, repair techs learn to sell, and office staff learn the whole business. We promote people we already trust.
Open positions
We are hiring for the four roles below right now. If none of them fits and you still want to work here, send a General Application and share with us what you do best.
Roofing Apprentice
Junior Roofing Technician · Field · Full time
The way into the trade. You do not need roofing experience; you need a real work history outdoors or with your hands, a good attitude and the willingness to learn every part of the job. We teach the rest, from tear-off and dry-in to shingle, metal and flat installation, on real roofs alongside crews that have done it for years.
What you will do
- Work alongside an experienced crew on tear-offs, dry-ins and installs.
- Learn shingle, metal, tile and low-slope roofing step by step, plus the safety program that goes with each one.
- Load, stage and keep the job site clean and the homeowner happy.
- Move up to Roofing Technician as your skills are signed off.
What we are looking for
- Basic outside work history: construction, landscaping, warehouse, military, farm, anything that shows you show up and work.
- Comfortable on a ladder and a roof, in Florida heat, with fall protection on.
- Reliable transportation to our Melbourne Headquarters each morning; a valid driver’s license is a plus.
- Eligible to work in the United States.
Pay and training
Hourly W-2 pay with paid, on-the-job training from day one. Paid holidays after your first year and paid time off for eligible full-time team members. A clear path to technician and crew-lead pay as you earn it.
Roofing Repair Technician
Repairs and service · Field · Full time
You know roofing installation and repair like the back of your hand. Shingle, metal, tile and flat. You can find a leak that three other people missed, fix it right the first time, and explain to the homeowner what you did. You will run service calls out of a company vehicle across Brevard County and be the reason a homeowner calls Hippo again.
What you will do
- Diagnose and repair leaks, storm damage, animal damage, flashing and penetration failures on every roof type.
- Run scheduled maintenance inspections on roofs we installed and document what you find with photos.
- Recommend the right fix, repair or replacement, and hand replacement opportunities to the right consultant.
- Keep the truck stocked, the paperwork complete and the job costed.
What we are looking for
- Several years of hands-on roofing installation AND repair experience across shingle, metal and low-slope; tile is a plus.
- Able to read a roof, an attic and a water stain and get to the cause.
- Clean driving record for a company vehicle; reliable and on time.
- Follows our safety program and Florida Building Code on every call; comfortable in Florida heat.
- Eligible to work in the United States.
Pay and training
W-2 pay set by experience, with the opportunity to earn on the repairs you sell; the full pay plan is shared at interview. Paid holidays after your first year. Company vehicle and tools for work use.
Roofing Consultant
In-home sales · Replacement roofs · Full time
Meet homeowners at their kitchen table, inspect and measure the roof, and present honest options: shingle, metal for around the price of shingles, standing seam, tile. You will run company-supplied appointments across Brevard County, close in the home when it is right for the homeowner, and follow through until the roof is on. We hire salespeople and teach them roofing, not the other way around. This is a career sales role with a third-generation company, not a storm-chaser gig.
What you will do
- Run pre-set, company-supplied roof visits (no cold calling required); self-generated leads earn extra.
- Inspect, measure and photograph the roof and attic; present pricing and financing options on the spot with a written estimate.
- Guide homeowners through insurance and financing paperwork and keep them informed through installation.
- Represent Hippo at events, shows and in the neighborhoods we serve.
What we are looking for
- Sales experience, ideally one to two years selling face to face. Roofing experience is NOT required and we would rather teach you our way than untrain someone else’s habits.
- Well spoken, honest, comfortable presenting to a family in their home and handling objections with respect.
- Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation; available some evenings and Saturdays when homeowners are home.
- Coachable, organized, and driven to hit personal goals.
- Eligible to work in the United States.
Pay and training
Commission-based with uncapped earnings, paid on a regular payroll, plus an extra percentage on every lead you generate yourself. Paid product and sales training, company-supplied leads, and a marketing team that fills the calendar.
Hippo is the most-reviewed roofer in Brevard County, with more than 700 Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars, an A+ BBB rating and a real Headquarters. That reputation walks into the home ahead of you.
Repair Consultant
Customer-facing repair and maintenance sales · Full time
The face of our repair division. You meet the homeowner on service and maintenance calls, look at the roof with the technician, and explain in plain language what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and what happens if it waits. You need to be well spoken, patient and good with people, and comfortable asking for the work. Roofing knowledge helps; we will teach you the technical side.
What you will do
- Meet homeowners on repair, maintenance and inspection visits and walk them through the findings and photos.
- Present repair options and pricing, close the repair on site when it makes sense, and schedule the work.
- Introduce the Roof Care Membership and hand full-replacement opportunities to a Roofing Consultant.
- Follow up on open estimates and keep the homeowner informed through the repair.
What we are looking for
- Customer-facing experience where you had to explain and sell something: service advisor, home services, hospitality, insurance, retail management.
- Excellent spoken and written English; calm, clear and respectful with a stressed homeowner.
- Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation; comfortable climbing a ladder to see what the tech sees.
- Organized with follow-through; comfortable with a CRM and a tablet.
- Eligible to work in the United States.
Pay and training
Pay tied to the repairs and memberships you sell; the full pay plan is shared at interview. Paid training on roofing basics, our repair process and our pricing. Company-supplied service calls every day.
