Tom Dawson

Operations

The team that’s behind the scenes deploying nationwide teams to execute flagship services and large projects.

The Field Advisor position is the heartbeat of the company and is a great way to start with no experience in the roofing industry. My time as a Field Advisor gave me the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of RoofingSource from the ground up.

Sales

The team that fosters customer relationships and drives nationwide expansion.

After working 3 years as a Field Advisor, I transitioned to become a Field Representative. My advice for people coming in new, especially if they want to advance, is to learn as much as possible in the field.

John Barnes

Tim Cruser

Field Supervisor, Wilmington, DE, Started as a Field Advisor in 2018

Field Support

The team that ensures teammates receive the necessary support while working in the field.

Beginning as a Field Advisor gave me the skills to effectively support our Field team. I’ve learned that development is fueled by consistent communication and utilizing all the resources that RoofingSource provides.

Training

The nationwide team that assists with both initial and ongoing training to support the field team.

As a Field Advisor, I was consistently seeing roofs and expanding my knowledge of roofing systems which ultimately prepared me to become a Field Trainer. At RoofingSource, if you put your mind and effort into where you want to be, you can make it a reality.
