Director of Construction

The Director of Construction will lead Parity's construction operations as we scale from tens to dozens of rehabilitated homes per year. You will oversee the renovation of complex, often partially collapsed rowhomes, while building the systems and team capacity to expand our impact. This is a unique opportunity for someone who may be coming from a larger firm and wants their expertise and ideas to shape a mission-driven organization from the ground up.

• Lead rehabilitation of multiple residential rowhomes across West Baltimore, scaling toward 200 homes annually.
• Manage and grow a diverse construction team — GCs, subs, suppliers — while building a collaborative, high-accountability culture.
• Own full project lifecycle: estimating, scheduling, budgeting, site walks (bid through closeout), and quality control.
• Ensure compliance with Baltimore City permitting, building codes, zoning, and OSHA safety standards.
• Liaise with architects, engineers, city inspectors, and utility providers (BGE, DPW) to keep projects on track.
• Lead procurement and supply chain management, including materials tracking and vendor relationships.
• Develop and implement construction systems and processes to drive efficiency and scale.
• Identify value engineering opportunities without compromising design or build quality.
• Support contracts, change orders, draw releases, retainage, and insurance compliance.
• Model Parity's values — warmth, equity, collaboration, and craftsmanship — in every aspect of the role.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 to 7 years of construction management experience, preferably with expertise in renovating historic or distressed rowhomes.
• Proven ability to manage people, subcontractors, and trade partners effectively.
• Strong operational mindset with experience scaling construction operations.
• Experience with Buildertrend software (preferred, training available).
• Estimating experience is strongly preferred.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills with the ability to handle conflict constructively.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to worksites in Baltimore.
• Final candidates must complete a background check consistent with Maryland law.
• Must live within one hour of Baltimore, MD.

• Full time position
• Competitive salary in the range of $100,000 to $150,000, commensurate to experience.
• Health benefits package.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Opportunities for professional growth and leadership within a fast-scaling nonprofit builder.
• The chance to do mission-driven work that revitalizes communities and builds generational wealth for residents.
