What You Bring • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, or a related field preferred; equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience will be considered • Minimum 5 years of experience in construction estimating (coatings, finishes, or related trade experience is a strong asset) • Clear understanding of architectural drawings and finish specifications • Working knowledge of coatings products and industry standards • Understanding of general contracts, subcontract documents, and estimating and purchasing principles • Strong written communication and interpersonal skills • Ability to work under pressure, meet hard bid deadlines, and stay organized in a fast-moving environment • A team player who builds and maintains strong relationships with crew, customers, and trades • Lifelong learner, an openness to ongoing training and professional development

Why Join KELLA? • Work directly with ownership — your input shapes how the company grows • Empowering, team-first work environment where integrity and great service come first • Competitive salary $60K+ dependent on experience and education • Wellness days • Benefits package • Room to grow as the company grows
