JLL is hiring a Regional Maintenance Manager to support state-of-the-art distribution centers across North America. This is not a typical RMM role.

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.
