Job Description

Would you like to see your creative ideas embraced, construction quality and beauty prioritized over cost and speed, and health, durability, and sustainability be uncompromised features of every finished project. Would you like to make a genuine difference in the built environment?

Kala uniquely integrates architecture, design, building envelope construction, finish carpentry, and other key disciplines into a unified team fully committed to redefining how the built environment can positively impact our world by delivering the world’s most inspired, comfortable, healthy, durable, and sustainable buildings.
