Roofing Project Manager Jobs in Ellijay, GA

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Here is the whole pay story at Robust Roofing: a true 50/50 with nothing taken off the top, period. No 10/50/50 overhead cut, no office fee, no lead fee, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Put simply, it is significantly better than what most roofing companies pay, and we are hiring a Project Manager to serve Ellijay and Gilmer County, where hail fell four times in one month this summer. Half of the profit is more than double the 20% most often paid by roofers who share profit, according to JobNimbus.

Four hail days in one month

Between July 17 and August 17, 2026, radar estimates and National Weather Service reports place hail of at least 0.75 inch over Ellijay on four separate days: July 17, July 28, August 7 and August 17. The July 28 storm was the largest, with stones estimated around 1.2 inches. In all, Ellijay has had 6 hail days at that size since January 2025, 2 of them at an inch or more. Repeated storms like these leave homeowners with real questions and roofs that deserve a careful, honest look. When storms keep returning to the same valley within a few weeks, nobody can tell by eye which one did what, so dated photos and a slope by slope record help everyone, including the carrier, understand the roof's real condition.

Apple country and river cabins

Ellijay calls itself the Apple Capital of Georgia, and orchards line the roads outside town; the 30539 zip covers East Ellijay. Neighborhoods range from Coosawattee River Resort, a large gated mountain community, to Walnut Mountain, Utana Bluffs, Cartecay River Estates, Talona Lake, Carters Lake Estates and Blackberry Mountain. Cabins, second homes and full time residences sit on steep wooded lots, so an Ellijay inspection means careful footing, a close look for limb damage and photos that tell a clear story to a homeowner who may live out of town. Our Ellijay roofing page covers the homeowner side.

Why there is nothing off the top

Many roofing sales plans run on a 10/50/50: the company keeps 10 percent of the job for overhead before anything is shared, commonly based on the contract price, and only the rest is split 50/50. That first cut comes out of every single job. Robust does not take it. Your half is calculated on the full profit, without any overhead slice, office fee or lead fee removed first. Project Managers also receive a $75,000 per year base, which many roofing sales jobs lack: about a third of roofing companies pay sales teams commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused companies do (JobNimbus Peak Performance 2025). See true 50/50 vs 10/50/50.

Illustrative example

Consider a hypothetical $11,000 contract with $4,400 of profit before any overhead cut. Once a 10/50/50 takes its $1,100, the rep's half is $1,650. With nothing off the top, the rep's half is $2,200. Illustrative, actual job numbers vary.

A Project Manager's role in Gilmer County

You inspect roofs for free, photograph what you find and document it plainly. On insurance claims, you work with Robust's licensed adjuster, meet the carrier's adjuster and handle supplements. You help homeowners compare shingles and colors in the RoofMap portal, which is especially useful when an owner lives out of state, line up a build that is usually done in a day, and handle the final walkthrough. You are the homeowner's single contact the whole way. Read the Project Manager job description.

Training

No roofing background is necessary. Robust supplies your HAAG certification and complete training, and claims know-how comes from working with the licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff. We look for honesty, clear communication and follow-through, and Robust never waives deductibles, so honesty is simply how the job works.
