Description: Nazareth Farm is a Catholic home repair nonprofit located in Doddridge County, West Virginia, dedicated to serving local communities while providing transformative service experiences for high school and college volunteers from across the country. Rooted in the values of prayer, community, simplicity, and service, volunteers partner with homeowners to complete meaningful home repair projects. The Construction Coordinator plays a central role in advancing this mission by overseeing community home repair efforts and supporting the care and maintenance of Nazareth Farm facilities.
Working under the general direction of and in collaboration with the Executive Director, the Construction Coordinator oversees all aspects of the home repair program, including project selection, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Responsibilities include assessing project requests, coordinating applications, prioritizing work based on need and capacity, developing project plans and cost estimates, managing timelines and materials, and ensuring successful project completion through communication with staff, homeowners, and community partners.
The Construction Coordinator supervises and develops Nazareth Farm staff in construction skills, worksite leadership, planning, and safety. Because staff members may begin with little or no home repair experience, this role requires the ability to teach with patience, compassion, and encouragement while fostering confidence and growth. The Coordinator also ensures volunteers receive proper training and safety orientation before participating in worksites.
In addition to community projects, the Construction Coordinator supports the upkeep of Nazareth Farm’s buildings, grounds, tools, and equipment through maintenance planning, purchasing, inventory management, budgeting, documentation, billing, and coordination with contractors as needed. The Coordinator serves as an active member of the Safety and Facilities Committee and helps maintain safe and efficient operations across the organization.
This position requires someone committed to the mission and values of Nazareth Farm and comfortable living and working within a Catholic community. The ideal candidate is a servant leader and self-starter with strong home repair experience, excellent communication and organizational skills, and the ability to build positive relationships with homeowners, volunteers, staff, social service agencies, and community partners while upholding the standards of the Nazareth Farm Community Handbook.
A live-in option is available for candidates interested in residing within Nazareth Farm’s intentional community; however, living onsite is not required.
To apply, please send a resume, cover letter, and a list of three references to Julia Barcello, Executive Director, at [email protected]. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Questions may be directed via email or by calling 304-782-2742.
