Roofing

• Trusses, sheet roofing, tiles, gutters and waterproofing.
• Roofing sits within Construction & Building Trades — Trades that build, repair and power the homes, shops and infrastructure of modern Nigerian communities.

Typical daily activities

• Hands-on work directly tied to roofing
• Planning, preparation and quality checks for each job or task
• Communicating with clients, teammates or supervisors
• Maintaining tools, equipment, records and standards
• Continuous learning — every project teaches something new

• Every home, school, clinic and shop a Nigerian community needs starts with skilled builders.
• Construction skills travel — they pay locally and are in demand across West Africa, the Gulf and Europe.
