At the same time, they are service-oriented and are concerned with quality, punctual work and public safety. Careless tradespeople who only want to collect a paycheck will NOT be a good fit for this role.

The construction tradespeople at Kalos serve as the foundation of our greater mission to serve Floridian communities. Without those tradespeople, Kalos would operate on a much smaller scale and would NOT have the same positive impact on Floridian business centers. They signed up for their role to develop professionally while making a visible difference to others. The best-suited applicants for this position see the role as a vehicle for their own learning and for making a positive difference in markets and communities across the state.
