Build More Than Homes. Build Confidence. Build Community.
At Habitat for Humanity, we're not just building houses- we're building hope, relationships, and stronger communities. Our construction sites bring together future homeowners, skilled tradespeople, corporate teams, retirees, students, churches and first-time volunteers working toward one common goal.
We're looking for an experienced residential construction professional who enjoys working with people just as much as working with houses. The ideal candidate is an organized project manager, a patient teacher, an encouraging coach, and someone who can create a job site where volunteers feel welcomed, valued, and excited to return.
If you believe construction is about more than buildings—and that leadership means helping others discover what they're capable of—we'd love to hear from you.

· Obtain all appropriate permits, inspections, and certificates for construction activities.
