Job description

Bloomington, IL, United States of America

Prestige Maintenance USA provides scalable janitorial and facilities maintenance services using environmentally sustainable solutions. We’re based in Plano, Texas — just north of Dallas — and have more than 3,000 employees nationwide. We customize janitorial and facilities-maintenance programs for clients in many industries, including distribution, fitness, grocery, retail, and transportation.

We are proud to be a woman-owned business led by Rachel Sanchez, CEO, and Jason Dinverno, CXO, whose parents, Marie and Alex Dinverno, established the company in 1976. As a women’s business enterprise, certified by WBENC, we look to partner with suppliers, clients, and team members who share our values. Not only are we a diverse supplier, but we also have our own supplier diversity program where we actively engage in partnership with other diverse suppliers.

The solutions we provide are scalable — flexible enough to meet the needs of any size enterprise, from Fortune 500 and mid-market clients to small businesses.

As the facilities maintenance and janitorial industry changes, independently owned companies like PMUSA are becoming less common. This allows us to focus on what’s right for our customers, not for shareholders.

Our nimbleness enables us to deliver a greater depth of service and responsiveness as well as a large pool of talent, without the hassles often associated with the largest of companies. Yet our large employee base, history, and national footprint mean we have the resources to serve clients of all sizes, from national, multi-site retail chains to smaller, independently-owned businesses.
