Alto Housing Authority
Maintenance Mechanic “B”
Cutoff:  Until Filled

MAINTENANCE MECHANIC “B” – this position is for our one and only full-time maintenance position for our 67-unit apartment community here in Alto, Texas.   It is a Monday – Friday / 8 AM – 4 PM position with on-call work expected after completion of the probationary period – on a rotation basis with other staff members.   This is a “B” Mechanic position, which means that it is technically not a supervisory position, but IS a “skilled” position.   The successful applicant will be expected to already possess knowledge, experience and skills sets appropriate to property management of a busy apartment complex and the three common buildings that support it.   This would include basic plumbing, electrical and HVAC work.    Some tools and equipment are supplied by the PHA, but specialized tools may be required for various repair and/or maintenance purposes.   The successful applicant should be conversant with the English language (although some Spanish would be very welcome!), and have sufficient literacy and technical abilities to be able to document labor and materials on the PHA’s iPad based work order / inventory system and have a current Texas Driving License.     Although we are seeking a SKILLED Maintenance Mechanic, an applicant without skills, but who exhibits ability and desire to obtain skills may be considered at a lower starting rate of pay.   The Skilled Maintenance Mechanic “B” position starts at $15 / hour.   Applicants may contract the Executive Director at Director@altohousing.org .   Your e-mail should include an attached resume.

Intake Clerk
Cutoff:  Until Filled

INTAKE CLERK – to be upgraded to INTAKE SPECIALIST upon completion of Probation Period and Passing Grade on Training Course

Primarily the “Gatekeeper” for the housing authority office and the 1^st responsible party for handling intake of online applications from our website for our two low-income housing programs, Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher / Section 8 Program.    The position requires someone with sufficient personal / communication skills and the technical ability to handle multi-line phone calls, send/receive e-mail, issue and complete work order requests, document inventory or submit purchase orders for office and maintenance supplies.   Sufficient English speaking skills are a must, but an applicant who also possesses literacy in Spanish would be very welcome, indeed.   This position is primarily sedentary, but also requires the ability to lift and carry case files which can occasionally weigh upwards of ten pounds or more.   This position is also responsible for inventory management – from ordering what is needed to putting it away when it arrives, so the ability to lift and carry heavy objects is occasionally required.    An individual with these abilities and experience with Microsoft Office software, particularly Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel would be a welcome addition to our staff.  Clerical positions start at $12 / hour.   We are currently hiring TWO Intake Clerks; both positions are full time, Monday – Friday and are currently identical, but we are hiring TWO for this ONE full-time position with the intent to move ONE to a Caseworker position and the other to the Intake position upon completion of the probationary period and successful completion of a THA training course.   Hourly rates for both positions will be the same (as the duties are also nearly identical), but can be increased at the end of the probationary period should performance warrant it.   Applicants may contact the Executive Director at Director@altohousing.org.   Your e-mail should include an attached resume.
