Director of Construction Operations

Overland Park, Kansas (Kansas City Metro)
$145,000-$165,000 Base Salary + Benefits + Long-Term Investment Opportunity

Lead. Build. Scale.

KH Properties is seeking a high-capacity construction leader to take ownership of our growing construction platform and help shape the next chapter of our company's growth.

This is not a maintenance construction role.

This is not a bureaucratic corporate position.

This is an opportunity to lead, build, and scale a real construction department inside a growing multifamily owner/operator business with visible impact, meaningful leadership ownership, and long-term opportunity.

Unlike many construction organizations, our work is not transactional.

We own what we build.

That means decisions are made with a long-term ownership mindset focused on:

• quality
• durability
• resident experience
• disciplined execution
• and lasting value

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Construction Operations to lead our construction department and oversee renovation execution, capital improvement initiatives, operational systems, team development, and scalable departmental growth.

This role reports directly to the CEO and will serve as one of the company's senior department leaders.

You will lead a team of approximately 30 professionals, including:

• Project Manager
• Procurement Manager
• Site Superintendents
• Construction Coordinators
• Field labor teams
• Skilled trades personnel
• Supplemental subcontractors

This is a hands-on executive leadership role for someone who can operate strategically while staying grounded in practical construction execution.

The right leader will:

• Successfully oversee multiple simultaneous large-scale renovation projects
• Maintain support for stabilized asset capital improvement initiatives
• Build systems capable of consistently delivering targeted production expectations
• Ensure projects are completed within budget
• Strengthen accountability, leadership, and performance throughout the department
• Create scalable construction processes and reporting discipline
• Operate as a trusted executive leader aligned with company vision and values

What We're Looking For

Strong candidates will likely bring:

• Director-level construction leadership experience or equivalent operational ownership
• Residential and/or multifamily construction leadership experience preferred
• Renovation / value-add construction experience strongly preferred
• Experience leading Project Managers and Site Superintendents
• Multi-project oversight experience
• Budgeting / estimating leadership experience
• Subcontractor and labor management experience
• Process improvement / systems implementation experience
• Strong communication and executive presence
• Practical problem-solving ability
• Calm confidence under pressure
• High accountability
• Structured operational thinking
• Leadership maturity
• Strong cultural alignment

Formal education in Construction Management, Building Construction, Civil Engineering, or related disciplines is valued but not required.

Equivalent practical leadership experience is highly respected.

Base Salary: $145,000-$165,000

Benefits include:

• Full individual health insurance coverage

Long-term, proven leaders at KH may have opportunities to participate in company investment opportunities as part of our ownership-minded culture.

This is an in-office leadership role based in Overland Park, Kansas (Kansas City metro).

Requirements:

• Relocation to Kansas City if currently non-local
• Regular travel to project sites
• Approximately 2-3 days at a time, 1-2 weeks per month depending on project activity
