Description of Position
At Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia (“HFHP”), we are builders who work alongside, not for others. We are driven by accountability and defined by our stick-to-itiveness. The BUILD Department directly improves the living conditions of low-income families by creating safe, healthy, affordable dwellings through the construction of new multi- and single-unit new housing, whole house rehab projects, and owner-occupied home repair work. The Build Project Manager-Home Repair is focused on owner-occupied home repair work and is responsible for developing work scopes and maintaining project schedules and budgets by safely and efficiently managing internal site staff, subcontractors, volunteer labor, and material acquisition in a manner that is consistent with applicable building codes, construction best practices, safety standards, and the overall goals of the organization. The ideal candidate will have: a strong foundation of construction knowledge; experience estimating for and managing multiple project budgets and schedules simultaneously; and a desire to improve home conditions for Philadelphia families.
