• Track labor and material costs, address inefficiencies, and communicate quoting concerns to sales and management.

• Coordinate timely invoicing and payment follow-up with administrative staff, helping resolve project-related billing concerns.

• Coordinate walkthroughs, touchups, and final details so jobs are fully completed.

• Help keep vehicles and equipment maintained, and transport company trailers and supplies between jobsites as needed.

What you’ll bring

• Experience leading field teams or managing teams, with the ability to set expectations, coach employees, and keep work organized.

• Painting experience or, at minimum, a basic working knowledge of painting.

• Strong organization, attention to detail, and dependable follow-through.

• Friendly, professional communication with customers and employees.

• The ability to adjust priorities and solve problems calmly in a busy environment.

• A positive attitude, team mentality, and a fair, respectful approach to accountability.

• Comfort tracking project costs and using software for schedules and communication.

• A valid driver’s license, a driving record acceptable for company vehicle use, and willingness to transport trailers and equipment.

Trailer-towing experience and bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus.

What we offer

• $75,000–$90,000 annual base salary, depending on experience.

• Quarterly performance bonuses tied to gross profit goals, up to $20,000 per year.

• Two weeks of PTO in year one, increasing to three weeks starting in year two, plus six paid holidays and five paid sick days annually.
