Regional Maintenance Manager - JLL

JLL is hiring a Regional Maintenance Manager to support state-of-the-art distribution centers across North America. As a Regional Maintenance Manager — Leadership Development & Site Excellence, you will deploy across a dynamic portfolio of sites to build leadership capability, drive operational excellence, and raise the standard of maintenance execution network-wide. You will work directly alongside Senior Maintenance Managers, Maintenance Managers, Area Maintenance Managers, and site teams — coaching in the field, not from a distance.

This role is purpose-built for an experienced leader who thrives on developing people, strengthening operations, and leaving sites and teams measurably better than they found them. You will serve as a key resource across the network — deploying where leadership development is needed, accelerating new leaders into their roles, and ensuring program standards are executed with consistency and rigor.

You are part of a National Operations Team delivering services to the client across the United States and Canada.

Site Performance & Standards

• Deploy across the network to assess gaps, drive corrective action, and restore performance to KPI targets
• Evaluate site condition, maintenance execution, and team capability — and leave behind a clear improvement plan with ownership
• Establish, teach, and enforce standards for maintenance execution that protect, maintain, and improve the value of client assets
• Conduct Health Check audits and Quality Assurance reviews to ensure consistent adherence to program standards across the network
• Provide Fulfillment Center General Managers with direct visibility into the conduct of maintenance at their sites

Leadership Development & Coaching

• Serve as a hands‑on mentor and coach to Senior Maintenance Managers, Maintenance Managers, and Area Maintenance Managers
• Model leadership best practices in real time — in the field, alongside site teams
• Identify leadership gaps at the site level and build individualized development plans to close them
• Teach budgeting, workforce management, KPI interpretation, and escalation processes to emerging leaders
• Create talent pipelines within sites to ensure continuity of performance and values
• Drive maintenance best practices: standardize work methods, improve reliability, document processes, and train teams on execution
• Develop and implement reliability plans that support increasing uptime across assigned facilities
• Provide functional expertise in Material Handling Equipment (MHE), Industrial Automation, and Robotics systems
• Leverage data and operational metrics to identify trends, diagnose root causes, and drive continuous improvement
• Provide guidance to senior leadership on equipment end‑of‑life issues using ROI and analytical techniques

Safety Culture

• Build and reinforce a proactive safety culture at every site you engage with
• Guarantee 100% safety training compliance and model safety‑first behavior that drives accountability
• Conduct and support training drills across the network
• Establish deep relationships with safety program managers — both client-side and on‑account

Client Relationship Management

• Build trusted relationships with site Operations leaders, Regional Operations Managers, and Program Managers
• Ensure KPI performance is achieved or exceeded — and communicate performance clearly in weekly business reviews and reporting

Account & Program Management

• Ensure compliance with PO creation and invoice reconciliation processes
• Network with other RMMs to ensure consistent deployment and execution of JLL programs and tools

Bachelor's degree

• ~6+ years managing employees and performance, including salaried leaders
• ~ Prior experience in a regional or multi‑site maintenance leadership role managing 80+ employees
• ~ Proven track record of leading change, accelerating team development, and driving performance improvement across multiple sites
• ~ Functional knowledge of Material Handling Equipment systems, maintenance best practices, and 24/7 logistics environments
• ~ Willingness to travel 70–80% and deploy on short notice to sites across North America
• Strong coaching, mentoring, and influencing skills — especially with leaders earlier in their development
• Experienced in reliability‑centered maintenance, preventive/predictive strategies, and large‑scale integrated systems
• Proficient in data analysis; able to translate metrics into actionable coaching and site‑level decisions
• Exposure to Lean, Six Sigma, TOC, standardized work, and cost/benefit analysis
• Working knowledge of MS Excel, AutoCAD, MS Project, and CMMS platforms
• MBA, Master's degree, or Six Sigma Black Belt a plus
• Professional engineering registration a plus
