VCP was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2016 by a group of combat Veterans shaped by their military service and began with a determination to do better for Veterans in need. Today, we’re growing nationwide to serve more Veterans everywhere, ensuring no one is left behind. Our founders’ solution was simple: provide Veterans experiencing homelessness with a home of their own and wraparound case management services that leverage the support of the community to not only get them back on their feet, but ensure they continue standing.

Our proven model has an 85% success rate at getting Veterans back on their feet.

We, the team members and co-founders of VCP, operate with innovation, entrepreneurship, and grit in our mission to serve those who served. We move with swift, bold action, driven by purpose. We believe in collaboration, community, compassion, and above all, serving Veterans with dignity and respect. We serve all Veterans with that ethos—regardless of length or type of service, or discharge status.

The Construction and Operations Manager (COM) is responsible for all construction-related activities to support VCP of Glendale and will work closely with the Construction Committee, vendors, subcontractors, and team members from various departments. The COM is responsible for creating and maintaining construction timelines with the Director of Construction and working with vendors and subcontractors to ensure completion. The COM will maintain an actual cost sheet with oversight from the Director of Construction.

This position is also responsible for the oversight, guidance, and safety of volunteers, as VCP is fueled by the community and volunteers are on site daily. Once construction is complete and residents are occupying the homes, the Operations become the focus of the position, requiring the completion of maintenance work orders for the Village (post construction). Like all VCP of Glendale employees, this position will occasionally require attendance at community events, serving as a guest speaker, and giving tours.

The role of this position will evolve over time as the construction of VCP Village concludes, though basic job functions will remain. Candidates need an understanding of construction, project timelines, and schedules, and must be able to complete tasks on time.

• Using templates, create schedules for individual tiny homes and maintain them for regular reporting.
• Help develop the Construction Committee and maintain relationships with the Committee for the project's duration.
• Find and develop relationships with local subcontractors, vendors, and other industry professionals with support from the Construction Committee.
• Follow procurement procedures to obtain the best price for materials, services, and labor.
• Delegate jobs that can be done by core volunteers.
• Order and manage construction materials, including delivery, storage, and proper use.
• Supervise and provide day‑to‑day leadership and guidance to volunteers to ensure construction and/or maintenance tasks are completed as directed.
• Conduct morning safety briefs and afternoon reviews with volunteers.
• Schedule subcontractors appropriately and provide oversight of hired contractors and vendors while keeping them on schedule.
• Work with vendors to ensure quality control and billing meets VCP standards and report inadequate work to the Executive Director and Director of Construction.
• Schedule and manage inspections and develop and maintain relationships with inspectors and building departments.
• Maintain a hard‑costs analysis of the project using the budget as a baseline and the Director of Construction as a resource.
• Create and complete house completion procedures to ensure houses are up to VCP standards of quality.
