Operating Engineer

As a Building Engineer at JLL, you’ll be at the heart of keeping our clients’ facilities running smoothly and efficiently. This role places you on the front lines of building operations, where you’ll manage everything from responsive maintenance and preventive care to emergency situations and tenant relations. You’ll work hands-on with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems while operating building management systems to ensure optimal performance across all critical infrastructure.

Beyond the technical aspects, you’ll serve as a trusted point of contact for tenants and clients, responding to service requests, supporting events, and maintaining the high standards our clients expect. At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way - for our clients, ourselves and our fellow employees - and in this role, you’ll do exactly that by ensuring buildings operate safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

This position requires someone who can balance technical expertise with exceptional customer service, work independently while collaborating with contractors and vendors, and respond to the dynamic needs of a commercial property environment. You’ll participate in a rotating on-call schedule, champion safety initiatives, and contribute to energy management strategies that make a real difference in how buildings perform.
