JLL • Edmonton, AB

3d • Onsite

About The Position

JLL is hiring a Regional Maintenance Manager to support state-of-the-art distribution centers across North America. This role is designed for an experienced leader who thrives on developing people, strengthening operations, and leaving sites and teams measurably better than they found them. The Regional Maintenance Manager will deploy across a dynamic portfolio of sites to build leadership capability, drive operational excellence, and raise the standard of maintenance execution network-wide. This role is part of a National Operations Team delivering services to the client across the United States and Canada. The manager 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 serves 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.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• 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

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Monitor, audit, and enforce safe work practices; conduct and support training drills across the network.
• Establish deep relationships with safety program managers — both client-side and on-account.
• Build trusted relationships with site Operations leaders, Regional Operations Managers, and Program Managers.
• Partner with JLL leaders and Finance to ensure proper stewardship of client funds.
• Ensure KPI performance is achieved or exceeded — and communicate performance clearly in weekly business reviews and reporting.
• Ensure labor and PRM budgets are met, including OT adherence and approval authority follow-through.
• Report variances and trends across all controllable budgets.
• Ensure compliance with PO creation and invoice reconciliation processes.
• Network with other RMMs to ensure consistent deployment and execution of JLL programs and tools.
