Summary/Objective: We're looking for a hands-on Live-In Maintenance Supervisor for a senior affordable high-rise community in Birmingham, AL. This position includes a two-bedroom onsite apartment.

The right candidate is steady, practical, responsive, and comfortable working in an older high-rise building environment.
