Rebuilding Together Philadelphia (RTP) is a non-profit that revitalizes communities by transforming vulnerable houses into safe, healthy, and energy-efficient homes. RTP brings volunteers and communities together to repair homes and improve lives. Each year, RTP and more than 1,000 volunteers provide free safe and healthy home repairs for 100+ homeowners.

The Program Manager will report to the Director of Operations and will be responsible for implementing one Block Build each year as well as one or more of our scattered-site repair programs. Our Block Build program focuses on three neighborhoods each year. The culmination of our work in each neighborhood is a two-day Block Build event where hundreds of volunteers work alongside staff and homeowners to provide repairs in 10-15 homes. All repairs focus on providing safe and healthy home repairs for low-wealth and working-class homeowners.

An ideal Program Manager will have a mix of construction and project management experience that provides them with the skills necessary to conduct home evaluations, manage home repair projects, and complete compliance and reporting requirements for their programs. We estimate that the Program Manager will spend 70% of their time in the office managing work scopes, coordinating with community partners, scheduling and tracking work, etc. The remaining 30% of their time will be spent in the field conducting home evaluations, meeting with homeowners and contractors, completing final inspections, etc.

RTP embraces diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
