Maintenance Superintendent-Senior Living
Just minutes from East Nashville and built on the former estate of country music legend “Mother” Maybelle Carter, AVIVA Maybelle Carter is a well-established and trusted senior living community.
In addition to Independent Living and Assisted Living apartment units, we have dining areas, kitchens, special use areas, offices and common areas.
We seek a hands-on person with general skills in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, repairs, preventative maintenance, safety compliance, and team leadership. We need someone who can respect our residents and improve and maintain the community they call home. Senior living, luxury apartment, or large hotel experience a plus. HVAC certification is a plus and experience with PTAC units and heat pumps. If you reach for a tool rather than the phone when something needs fixed, that is the mindset we are looking for.
We need someone who can work with general contractors to help corporate oversee CapEx projects, make ready apartments efficiently as residents move, and multitask to ensure preventative maintenance is completed and regulatory compliance is met.
Wage, benefit package and bonus potential.
