Increasing construction in Germany as new homes are built & existing properties are renovated means there's an increasing need for trained roofers. General construction, infrastructure, real estate and facility management are all heavily dependent on finding qualified and experienced roofing professionals. Unfortunately, many contractors cannot find local roofers to fill open positions.

Dynamic Staffing Services assists German companies with hiring globally trained roofers. We also provide trained safe-to-work (as defined by OSHA) roofers with the ability to execute high-quality work.

Why Roofers Are Important

The primary job of roofers is to install and repair roofs. Roofers utilise various materials (tile, metal sheeting, waterproof membranes, etc.) to perform their job effectively. Roofing has both safety & structural integrity issues. A properly installed roof protects against rain, wind, and extreme weather, therefore protecting the overall structure and the people who occupy it.

Roofing provides insulation to the building. Houses with good insulation will operate more efficiently and save money on energy costs over a period of time. The quality of roofing is essential. If a roof is improperly installed, it could cause leaks, damage or an expense to repair it. An adequate "safe-to-work" reroofing job will last for many years if performed by a qualified roofer.

Roofers Shortage in Germany

Roofers are in high demand, but the number of qualified roofers in the marketplace is shrinking for a number of reasons.

• Increased Construction and Renovation Activities: With more buildings being constructed and more roofs being replaced, construction activity requires more roofers.
• Ageing Workforce: As older workers retire, there are not enough younger workers to take their place.
• Lack of Qualified Workers: Roofers require both training and experience; therefore, not all workers are capable of performing the work.
• High Risk Job: Roofers work at elevated heights in addition to being exposed to various weather conditions, which makes the job dangerous and has limited the number of individuals available to work.

The shortage of qualified roofers is causing project delays, safety concerns, increased workloads on existing roofing crews, etc.

Client Testimonials

Construction Firm – Berlin 

We couldn't locate experienced roofers as we had several ongoing developments; this slowed the timeframes down, which created delays on our projects. Dynamic Staffing Services helped us find qualified employees who have not only the experience of performing roofing work but are also familiar with safety requirements to ensure a safe work environment. By using a highly skilled workforce, we were able to put more attention on achieving a finish faster, improving the quality, and maximising productivity levels.

Finding skilled roofers who show safety awareness and knowledge is critical to our industry.

Our experience with them has been seamless, as roofers have assimilated themselves into our production process expeditiously.
