Director of Construction Operations

KH Properties

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.

About KH Properties

KH Properties is a founder-led multifamily real estate owner, operator, and renovation company with a 24-year track record of acquiring, revitalizing, and long-term owning apartment communities throughout the Midwest and Southeastern United States.

We specialize in workforce housing—serving hardworking families by delivering strong value, quality housing, and communities we can be proud of.

Our business focuses on acquiring underperforming or neglected apartment communities and breathing life back into those properties through thoughtful renovation, operational excellence, and long-term stewardship.

Today, KH owns and operates approximately 3,000 apartment units across a growing portfolio and continues to scale intentionally.

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
