Reports To: Director of Programs
Work Schedule: Monday- Friday 8:00 am - 4:30pm, (40 hours a week with occasional nights and weekends)
Work Environment: The majority of work (approximately 80%) is performed in an office setting, focusing on staff management and administrative responsibilities. The remaining time is spent in the field as needed to assess/address homeowner concerns and conduct quality assurance inspections of completed contractor work.
General Statement of Duties: The Associate Director of Repairs leads and manages the full scope of our home repair programs, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and in alignment with organizational goals. This role oversees a portfolio that includes critical repairs, pre-weatherization services, aging-in-place modifications, and healthy homes initiatives. The Associate Director also manages and stewards relationships with donors, government agencies, community partners, and statewide collaborators in the home repair space. With growing opportunities for expansion—particularly through partnerships with health institutions and energy-efficiency funders—this position plays a strategic role in scaling our impact. Above all, the Associate Director represents and upholds Habitat’s mission and vision. Habitat is, first and foremost, a ministry—and second, a construction company, a bank, and a provider of social services.
