Coating Applicator – Crew Lead | Kelowna, BC
$28–$40/hr based on experience | You bring the trade, we bring the work
Full-time | Mon–Fri + occasional Saturdays | Local only — home every night | Company vehicle provided | One position available
This role is for someone who already knows coatings work — we're not training from scratch.
We install epoxy and polyaspartic garage floor coating systems for homeowners across Kelowna and the Okanagan. We run tight, clean jobsites with a repeatable process and a high bar for finish quality.
We're hiring one experienced technician who can lead a crew. If you've mixed and applied 2-part coating systems, run a grinder, and managed a jobsite — we want to hear from you. You'll get full onboarding on our specific products and systems. The hands-on foundation is on you.
What the job actually looks like
- Leading a 2–3 person crew from setup to final inspection
- Surface prep: diamond grinding, crack repair, moisture checks
- Mixing and applying 2-part epoxy and polyaspartic systems (primer, broadcast, scrape, topcoat)
- Keeping homeowners informed and comfortable on-site
- Holding quality standards on every install — no shortcuts
- Local travel across Kelowna and the Okanagan — home every night
Pay is based on what you demonstrate, not just what you claim.
We assess every candidate through a hands-on trial before making an offer. Show up, do the work, and the number reflects your actual skill level — not a lowball starting point.
You're the right fit if
- You have direct, hands-on epoxy, polyaspartic, or coatings experience — this is a hard requirement
- You've done concrete surface prep: grinding, crack repair, moisture mitigation
- You've led or mentored others on a jobsite
- You hold a valid Canadian driver's license and are eligible to work in Canada
- You take pride in finish quality and leave sites cleaner than you found them
- Painting, industrial coatings, or concrete finishing backgrounds are relevant — but be straight about exactly what you have and haven't done
What we offer
- $28–$40/hr — pay that reflects what you actually demonstrate
- Performance-based raises with a clear path, not vague promises
- Company vehicle provided for work travel
- Tools and uniforms provided
- Paid onboarding on our products and systems
- Consistent, local work — no overnight travel, ever
- Small crew, no politics — you work directly with the owners and decisions get made fast
- Company events and on-site parking
