HABITAT CLASSIFIEDS

SHfH is looking for two construction site supervisors for two different sites beginning this summer. One site is in the White Center area and will have two single story homes of four bedrooms built on adjacent lots and will break ground to start construction in August or September. Another site is in Holly Park area and will be two two story duplexes. Construction starts in June. The construction site supervisor is responsible for managing and coordinating all construction activity on their site and reports to the Construction Manager. These openings require a six month commitment for a 40 hour work week working Tuesdays through Saturdays. This is a fun, exciting, educational, and rewarding opportunity to work with volunteers and help our organization build simple, decent, and affordable housing for those in need. It is possible for two people to split one job site's responsibilities in order to help each other as well as diminish the time spent on site each week. Please call Tim Lawless our Construction Manager if you are interested in more details. THESE ARE PAID POSITIONS.

We're also looking for 2 stipended volunteers to serve as Construction Associates (one through VISTA and one through the Mennonite Voluntary Services). Call the office for details. THESE ARE PAID POSITIONS.
