Jobs

Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties (TCHFH) partners with local first-time homebuyers to help them build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. TCHFH is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, we have a small staff and are governed locally by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our affiliate has experienced steady growth over the past five years, transitioning from building one house every ~18 months to working on 3 or more homes at a time and shortening our construction timelines. We are looking to expand our construction staff to sustain this growth and continue to serve our community by building and rehabilitating efficient, quality, safe homes that local first-time homebuyers can afford.

The Construction Site Supervisor oversees skilled and unskilled volunteers and is the most visible and consistent point of contact for homebuyers, volunteers, and community members. As such, they should understand and embrace Habitat’s programs and principles and be a passionate advocate for Habitat’s mission. All work crews and individuals on site take their direction from the Construction Supervisor, who is responsible for knowing what work must be done and applying volunteer resources to accomplish that work.

The Construction Site Supervisor will assist the Construction Manager with implementing quality construction plans that meet the needs of homeowners and fit within project budgets and schedules, coordinate and lead on-site building activities in accordance with Habitat’s mission and standard of excellence, and maintain a professional and enthusiastic attitude on the jobsite.
