  • Physical requirements: Role requires the ability to sit, stand, walk, use a computer and standard office equipment, and communicate effectively by phone, video conference, email, and in person. The position may require walking job sites, climbing stairs, accessing roofs using ladders or roof access points when appropriate, and usually inspecting building and roof conditions.
