At Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity, we believe that opportunity starts with a home. We're more than a home builder — we're a movement of changemakers, working together to expand access to affordable homeownership in Central Oregon. We're looking for a hands-on, people-centered Working Foreman to lead volunteers, future homeowners, and subcontractors through the homebuilding process — from foundation to final landscaping.
This is a unique opportunity to build not just homes, but relationships, skills, and community.
What You'll Do
As Working Foreman, you'll work on-site alongside future homeowners and daily volunteer crews, guiding construction tasks while creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring experience for all participants.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead daily construction activities — including framing, siding, windows, paint, flooring, millwork, and more.
* Welcome, train, and motivate volunteers of all skill levels, fostering an inclusive and encouraging environment that keeps them coming back.
* Partner with the Construction Site Manager to ensure quality standards, safety, and code compliance.
* Collaborate with the Volunteer Program Manager to plan for team needs and site readiness.
* Assist with warranty repairs and maintain jobsite tools and equipment.
* Suggest process improvements and material cost-saving measures to the Project Management team.
Who You Are
* You're a skilled builder who's passionate about community. You believe in rolling up your sleeves, teaching others, and creating spaces where people feel empowered to learn and contribute.
Qualifications:
* 3+ years of residential construction experience (especially carpentry or framing)
* Proven ability to lead, train, and inspire volunteers with varying experience levels
* Ability to read and interpret construction plans
* Excellent communicator — confident, clear, and friendly with volunteers and future homeowners
* Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs., climbing ladders, and working outdoors in all conditions
* Valid driver's license and insurable driving record required
Why Join Us
* When you join our team, you're part of something bigger: a community-wide effort to ensure everyone has a safe, stable place to call home.
* We offer a dynamic, mission-driven workplace where your leadership makes a daily difference — and where you're supported with meaningful benefits:
Compensation & Benefits:
* Competitive pay
* Medical and dental insurance
* Retirement plan with company match
* Generous paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays
* Work/life balance with a consistent Tuesday–Saturday schedule
* Opportunities for professional development and career growth
The Volunteer Difference: At Habitat, we build differently. Much of your work will be done alongside volunteers and future homeowners. That means every task is a chance to teach, encourage, and connect. You'll play a key role in helping people build not only homes — but confidence, purpose, and community.
