JOB DESCRIPTION
TITLE: CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER
SALARY: $60,000-$75,000 (depending on qualifications and experience)
REPORTS TO: Executive Director
HOURS: Full-Time Salary (40hours/week – )
OPENING: Respond with résumé & cover letter via email to:jrichardson@habitat-tcp.org
Subject line: CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER
JOB SUMMARY
The Construction Project Manager (CPM) is responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing a wide variety of residential construction projects in multiple locations involving, land development, the installation of supporting infrastructure, construction of houses, and the installation of building systems and components. Much of the work in this job is administrative and while the manager will typically have an office, much of the work is performed in the field at the construction sites.
The position oversees the home construction process from conceptualization to completion. This includes oversight of architects, engineers, consultants, construction crew leaders, contractors, various trade workers, and construction volunteers. The CPM will be expected to provide periodic (weekly) reports on the progress of the projects for which he/she is responsible.
This job requires a lot of multitasking, so the demonstrated ability to stay calm under pressure while meeting deadlines is important. The CPM must maintain high standards of quality and will be expected to oversee all steps of the construction process. Leadership and communication skills are critical, as the CPM will oversee the work of many different professionals, employees, subcontractors, and (unpaid) volunteers including our homebuyer partners.
This position is a salaried position and though most work activities will occur within typical business hours (7:00a-4:00p/Monday-Friday) and a 40 hour work week, hours can be expected to be somewhat irregular, since the CPM must be available throughout the duration of any given project. In some cases, longer work hours and work on the weekends can be expected.
