    Job Description

    Job Description

    A well-run rebuilding project requires a lot of planning and skill behind the scenes to ensure that clients, volunteers, community partners, and others come together to have an impactful, uplifting project day. As the AmeriCorps Project Coordinator, you will manage rebuilding projects from start to finish, beginning with the initial visit to assess the client's home repair and/or accessibility modification needs, through the completion of the work scope tasks and final project evaluation. You will coordinate with clients, skilled volunteers, community partners, vendors, inspectors, and staff to develop and implement the project. In this position, you will also follow up with clients after each project to ensure that any health or safety concerns were addressed according to the work scope and complete any punch list items.

    Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

    • Coordinate communication between clients, staff, volunteers, and contractors to ensure that all parties are on the same page about work scope, timeline/timing of project elements, and expectations.
    • Meet with clients to complete home assessments, develop a work scope and materials list, and collaborate with other team members to develop a project timeline (especially if coordination with volunteers or contractors is required).
    • Arrange purchase and delivery of crucial project needs, including: tools and materials, personal protective equipment, dumpsters and other rented items, water, and snacks. Maintain a system for warehouse inventory to allow bulk purchasing, the reuse or repurposing of tools/materials, and an efficient supply chain. Ensure routine maintenance of Rebuilding Together-owned tools between projects.
    • Oversee general volunteers in completing direct hands-on repairs. Ensure that volunteers are trained in their task and have access to tools/materials, that proper safety procedures are being followed, that the work product is of good quality, and that volunteers enjoy and feel appreciated for their service.
    • Complete direct hands-on repairs, including but not limited to: rough/trim carpentry, tile work, grab bar installation, wheelchair ramp/safe entry/egress repairs, interior/exterior painting, and weatherization.
    • Recruit Project Leads to provide on-site leadership of volunteers completing direct hands-on repairs and other skilled-trades volunteers to complete skilled repairs and modifications. Conduct trainings to bring volunteers in leadership/specialty roles up-to-speed on Rebuilding Together's model of delivering services and completing projects.
    • Obtain necessary permits, inspections, and other approvals to begin work.
    • At the end of each rebuilding day, evaluate productivity against the work scope and ensure quality and completion of work. Upon completion of the project, survey clients to measure short- and long term outcomes and overall client satisfaction.

    Preferred

    • Experience with database, inventory, and barcoding systems or willingness to learn
    • Solid interpersonal skills and ability to make connections and build relationships with volunteers
