Roof Jobs · Illinois
Find the right roofing role in Illinois
Start with the Illinois results above, then check the worksite and duties in each posting. Roof Jobs includes installation, repair, service, estimating, sales, and leadership opportunities; the job title alone does not tell you which work you will do.
Chicagoland sales territories
For Wheaton or Broadview sales roles, ask whether leads are supplied and whether the advertised range includes commission. Clarify appointment territory, cancellations, and the point at which commission is earned.
Downstate projects
Compare Springfield, Peoria, and southern Illinois assignments separately from Chicago-area work. Confirm whether the role reports to a local yard or requires travel from another region.
Before you apply
- Field roles: check the roof systems, hands-on experience, training, access equipment, and tools the employer expects or provides.
- Sales and estimating: distinguish base pay from commission or projected earnings. Ask about leads, site visits, takeoffs, and responsibility after a sale.
- Crew and project leadership: clarify staffing, scheduling, quality checks, and how much hands-on work the position includes.
- The offer: confirm employee or subcontractor status, pay units, expected hours, travel expenses, and weather-related schedule changes. Check any credentials requested for the specific duties and worksite.
Pay research: match the occupation
Roofer statistics cover workers who install or repair roofs (SOC 47-2181; O*NET 47-2181.00). They do not represent every sales, management, waterproofing, or adjacent-trade role on this board. No single wage estimate is presented here as pay for all Illinois roofing jobs.
Check Illinois roofer wage data at O*NET. Match the occupation, geography, and data year before comparing an offer. Statewide figures are not local pay guarantees; employment estimates count workers, not current openings.
NOAA’s Illinois climate summary can help frame questions about outdoor work. Ask the employer about its actual safety procedures and scheduling; climate does not establish hiring demand.
