KELLA Coatings Solutions Inc.
Estimator/Coordinator
Calgary, Alberta • Full-Time • Competitive Salary $60K (DOE)
KELLA Coatings Solutions Inc. is a Calgary-based commercial painting and coatings subcontractor delivering quality finishes on construction projects across Alberta. As a growing company, we take pride in building strong relationships, running tight operations, and doing the work right the first time. We’re a small, driven team where your contribution is visible and your growth is real.
We’re looking for an Estimator/Coordinator to work side by side with ownership to estimate, coordinate, support and represent our business. This is a hands-on role that owns the bid process from tender to award, staying involved through project handoff and closeout. If you’re organized, commercially sharp, and want to grow with a company rather than get lost in one, this is the opportunity.
• Receive, organize, and manage incoming tender requests in a timely and responsive manner
• Review plans and specifications to determine scope and pricing for each project
• Analyze construction drawings to identify scope gaps and overlaps
• Communicate with vendors to obtain material quotes and assist in purchasing
• Create RFIs, analyze responses, and distribute to relevant parties
• Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits to review existing conditions as required
• Price hard bids, assist in negotiations, and provide budgets from conceptual through final construction documents
• Develop strategies to estimate and win competitive bids
• Attend and present at award meetings with clients and design teams
• Engage in value engineering, budgeting, and constructability reviews
• Prepare key plan drawings, budgets, scope documents, and submittals for field staff
• Facilitate project hand-off meetings with field staff to ensure a smooth transition
• Price and manage change orders throughout the project lifecycle
• Compile O&M manuals for project closeout
• Attend networking functions to promote company interests
• 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
• 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
