Careers & subcontractors

We build floors that last. We're looking for people who do the same.

Leading Edge Coatings is growing across the Mountain West. Whether you're looking to join the crew or partner with us as a subcontractor, here's what working with us looks like.

Why join Leading Edge

Work that you can see and be proud of.

Floor coating and concrete polishing is skilled, satisfying work. You start the day with a rough slab and end it with something that looks genuinely great and lasts for decades. If you take pride in doing things right and want to grow with a company that's expanding into larger commercial and government projects, read on.

Prep done right

We don't cut corners on surface preparation. You'll be trained to grind properly, test for moisture, and do the job the way it should be done — not the fast way.

Show up, get paid

We run a tight schedule. When we say a job starts Monday, it starts Monday. You'll know your schedule in advance and we respect your time the same way we respect our clients'.

Room to grow

We're expanding into larger commercial and government contracts. Crew members who perform well and want more responsibility get it — lead positions, larger projects, and more complex installs.

Professional tools

We run professional-grade CPS equipment and specification-quality products. You'll learn to use equipment that most small operators don't have — skills that make you more valuable anywhere in the trades.

Partner with us

Reliable trade partners who do things right.

As we grow into larger commercial and government contracts, we work with subcontractors and trade partners who share our standards. We're not looking for the cheapest option — we're looking for the right one.

What we look for in a partner

Non-negotiable

Licensed & insured

All subcontractors must carry current general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and be properly licensed for the work they perform. Certificates are required before any project begins — no exceptions, particularly on government and commercial work.

Non-negotiable

Quality standards

We specify the right prep, the right products, and the right process on every project. Subcontractors work to our specifications and quality standards — not their own shortcuts. If you're used to cutting corners, this isn't the right fit.

Strongly preferred

Commercial & industrial experience

Many of our projects are in government facilities, aerospace supplier plants, and large commercial spaces. Experience working in these environments — with the access, scheduling, and documentation requirements they bring — makes for a much smoother partnership.

Strongly preferred

Reliability & communication

Our clients — including government agencies and prime contractors — hold us to strict schedules. We need subcontractors who show up when they say they will, communicate problems early, and don't disappear when things get complicated.

For government work

SAM.gov registration

For subcontractor roles on federal projects, SAM.gov registration and a current UEI are required. If you're not registered and you're interested in government work, we can point you in the right direction — the process is straightforward.

Always valued

Documented track record

References from commercial or government clients you've worked with, photos of completed projects, and any manufacturer certifications you hold all strengthen a partnership application. We vet subcontractors before we bring them onto client projects.

Types of work we partner on

Depending on the project and your capabilities, subcontractor relationships with Leading Edge might include:

Surface prep

Diamond grinding, shot blasting, and coatings removal on large-area projects where additional capacity is needed.

Coating application

Applying specified coating systems under our supervision on commercial and industrial projects with tight timelines.

Concrete polishing

Polishing and densifying large commercial slabs where production rates require additional crews and equipment.

Complementary trades

Concrete repair, joint work, and related trade services that support our flooring scope on larger projects.
