• Follow all safety procedures, including proper use of harnesses, ladders, and fall protection equipment
• Measure, cut, and fit roofing materials under the guidance of a lead roofer
• Apply underlayment, flashing, and sealants correctly
• Keep job sites clean and organized throughout each project
• Communicate professionally with crew leads, customers, and other AEI teams
• Perform minor repairs (leaks, patch work) as directed
• Support general contracting crews with related exterior work as needed

• 0–2 years of roofing or general construction experience (training provided for the right candidate)
• Comfortable working at heights and outdoors in Hawaii's climate
• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work on sloped surfaces for extended periods
• Reliable transportation and valid Hawaii driver's license
• Strong work ethic, punctuality, and willingness to learn
• Basic knowledge of hand and power tools a plus

• Must be able to pass a background check

• Competitive hourly pay, based on experience
• On‑the‑job training and a clear path to advance into lead roofer or solar installer roles
• Opportunity to work with a growing, locally rooted Hawaii company
• Health benefits and PTO (per company policy)
• Team‑oriented, safety‑first work culture
