Description

Maintenance Director (Field-Focused Leadership Role)

The Maintenance Director is a hands-on, field-first leader responsible for driving equipment uptime, wash quality, and team capability across a region.

This role is built around:

  • 40% Training & Development
  • 40% Hands-On Maintenance
  • 20% Strategy & Planning

This is not a desk job. You will spend the majority of your time in the field—working on equipment, developing your team, and improving how maintenance gets done.

What You’ll Own

Training & Team Development (40%)

  • Lead from the field by training techs in real-time on equipment, troubleshooting, and best practices
  • Build capability across your team—turn average techs into strong performers
  • Partner with Operations to train site teams on preventative maintenance and basic troubleshooting
  • Reinforce standards through hands-on coaching, not just meetings
  • Help develop and improve training programs that actually stick

Hands-On Maintenance & Field Execution (40%)

  • Work directly on equipment alongside your team—diagnosing and fixing issues in real time
  • Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and chemical systems
  • Drive maximum uptime and wash quality across all sites
  • Identify root causes of recurring issues and implement permanent fixes
  • Set the standard for urgency, quality, and execution in the field

Strategy & Planning (20%)

  • Build simple, effective preventative maintenance routines that reduce downtime
  • Use tools like MaintainX to support execution, tracking, and accountability
  • Prioritize resources, parts, and labor across your region
  • Partner with leadership on improvements that drive efficiency and ROI
  • Continuously look for ways to improve systems, not just fix problems

Operations Partnership

  • Work closely with General Managers and Operations Leaders to keep sites running at peak performance
  • Prioritize repairs that directly impact the guest experience
  • Ensure alignment between maintenance and operations—one team, one wash

Safety & Accountability

  • Lead safety from the front—proper procedures, PPE, and clean work environments
  • Identify risks early and take action immediately
  • Ensure compliance with all company and regulatory standards

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting experience (industrial, automotive, or similar)
  • Proven ability to train and develop others in the field
  • Comfortable working with your hands, tools, and equipment daily
  • Experience with conveyors, pumps, motors, hydraulics, or similar systems preferred
  • High ownership mindset—you take action and solve problems quickly
  • Able to balance execution, people development, and planning without overcomplicating things

What Success Looks Like

  • Equipment is running consistently with minimal downtime
  • Your team is stronger, more capable, and improving week over week
  • Sites deliver a clean, dry, and shiny car—every time
