Interested in Working at
Open Door?

The Facilities and Construction Manager role will oversee the care, development, and stewardship of the church campus and co-lead the construction efforts of a “Sacred Settlement”—a tiny home community designed for individuals transitioning out of chronic homelessness. While a majority of the role will focus on the leadership of the team and coordination of all building and grounds operations in support of the church’s ministries, a significant (around 40%) focus will be working alongside the Sacred Settlement team to lead and manage the construction project within the church for the Sacred Settlement.  Once the Sacred Settlement has been established, this role will serve as property manager for the Sacred Settlement.  This will require someone who excels in both construction project management and team development, and who can work collaboratively across departments to ensure the church campus is safe, welcoming, and well-managed.

 

What this job looks like:

Facilities Leadership and Church Campus Oversight (approximately 60%)

• Provide hands-on leadership to the facilities team, including volunteers and contractors.

• Supervise the maintenance and operational integrity of Church of the Open Door’s buildings, grounds, parking areas, and event spaces.

• Manage and train facilities staff or coordinate with external service vendors.

• Monitor systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire safety, etc.) and ensure preventive maintenance schedules are implemented.

• Develop and coach staff and volunteers to ensure high-functioning, service-oriented facilities operations.

• Manage budgets, vendor contracts, preventative maintenance schedules, and safety protocols.

• Support ministry programming and events by coordinating room setups, facility usage, and logistics.

• Facilitate needs of rental customers – email communications, setups, general support.

• Maintain regulatory compliance with building codes, fire/life safety, ADA requirements, and environmental policies.

• Build strong working relationships with ministry leaders to ensure facilities support church programming and growth.

• Provide proactive communication and planning around facility needs and events.

• Participate in leadership meetings and planning sessions as needed to align physical space with ministry vision.

 

“Settled” Tiny Home Project (approximately 40%) 

• Serve as the co-lead construction manager along with the Settled organization for the Sacred Settlement initiative; including overseeing the planning, design, and construction along with collaborating with contractors, city officials and church leadership to ensure project alignment and execution.

• Manage zoning, timelines, budgets, and inspections related to the Sacred Settlement development.

• Once the settlement is launched, serve as property manager for the Sacred Settlement; overseeing the upkeep of the homes and the land.

• Serving as part of the team that coordinates and provides “purposeful work” for the Sacred Settlement neighbors; i.e. coordinating church building and grounds maintenance needs.

 

What’s needed for this job:

• At least 5 years of experience in facilities with demonstrated leadership and supervisory experience.

• General knowledge of building operations, (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, security systems, irrigation) maintenance and repairs.

• 3 – 5 years of construction management experience.

• A personal relationship with Jesus and commitment to spiritual formation for the sake of others .

• A passion for the mission and vision of not only the church but also the Sacred Settlement.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (oral and written) – a team player.

• Passionate about creating welcoming, well-maintained spaces for ministry and outreach.

• A collaborative team player who thrives in a church staff culture of humility, flexibility, and excellence.

• Expertise in construction planning, contractor oversight, and regulatory compliance.

• Ability to coach and motivate teams, including both staff and volunteers.

• Budgeting, scheduling, and vendor negotiation experience.

• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office and building management tools is a plus but not required.
