We are looking for a visionary Director of Construction who thrives on complexity, knows how to manage people and projects, and wants their work to have a lasting social impact.

Our work is centered on development without displacement, ensuring that historically marginalized residents are able to benefit from and direct the reinvestment in their neighborhoods.
