Most offices have four walls and fluorescent lighting. Yours could have open sky, fresh air, and a view of Northern Michigan that people pay good money to vacation for. At Springfield Roofing, we’ve spent over 40 years building the region’s most trusted commercial roofing company, and we did it with people who started exactly where you are right now: looking for a real career, not just a job.
We are Michigan’s leading commercial roofing contractor, and we got there because we invest in our crews the same way we invest in our roofs. Built to last, built the right way.
You don’t need a four-year degree to build a great career. You need a work ethic, a willingness to learn, and steady footing (literally). Springfield’s registered apprenticeship program is the first of its kind in Michigan’s commercial roofing industry, and it was built in partnership with Northwest Michigan Works to meet national U.S. Department of Labor standards.
No experience necessary. We’ll teach you everything from the ground up, or in this case, from the roof down.
What You Get:
We won’t sugarcoat it. Commercial roofing is physical work. Expect to lift, carry, and move materials over 50 pounds. Expect to bend, kneel, and occasionally negotiate with Michigan weather, which does not always negotiate back.
What you won’t get: a cubicle, a commute that eats your morning, or a boss who doesn’t know your name. What you will get: a tan line in the summer, a serious sense of pride in the work, and a paycheck that reflects the effort you put in.
We’re not going to pretend it’s the World’s Strongest Man competition. But you’ll build real strength, real skill, and a real career, one roof at a time.
Gain experience a you advance a great career in commercial roofing without college debt.
Successful apprenticeships result in roofing certifications you hold as a fully-qualified commercial roofer.
Start your career in an in-demand field with a competitive wage in less time than it takes to get a degree.
Apprenticeships provide full-time paid employment while you learn, with wages that increase with proficiency.
For over 30 years, Springfield has served commercial and industrial clients across Northern and Central Michigan, and our people are the reason we’ve stayed the leader in the region. Here’s what that means for you:
Good work deserves to be taken care of. When you join Springfield, you’re covered:
No experience necessary. Our registered apprenticeship program is built to train you from the ground up, whether you’ve never touched a roof or you’re switching careers entirely. We provide all the training required to earn your roofing certifications.
Apprentices are full-time, paid employees from day one. Wages increase as your skills and proficiency grow, so your paycheck reflects your progress, not just your job title.
Timelines vary by individual, but our program follows national U.S. Department of Labor standards for registered apprenticeships, giving you a clear, structured path toward becoming a fully qualified commercial roofer.
Full-time team members earn skill-based wages that grow with ability rather than years on the job, and are eligible for health, dental, and vision insurance, a simple IRA with company contribution, profit sharing program based on eligibility, paid time off and holidays, CPR and first aid training, a golf membership, and tools, gear, and transportation to and from the job site.
At Springfield, pay is skill-based, not seniority-based. Your wage grows as your abilities and certifications grow, so a fast learner isn’t stuck waiting behind someone who simply has more years on the calendar.
Yes, and we won’t tell you otherwise. Expect to lift, carry, and move materials over 50 pounds, along with regular bending and kneeling. In exchange, you get to work outdoors, build real strength, and skip the gym membership.
No degree required. Our apprenticeship program is designed as a debt-free path into a skilled trade career, with certifications that are recognized nationally.
We hire out of our Kingsley location, serving crews and communities throughout Northern and Central Michigan.
If you’re looking for steady work, real training, and a company that actually wants to see you succeed, Springfield Roofing is where you build it.
