Maintenance Manager

Correctional Services / Central North Correctional Centre Maintenance Department

If you're a proven maintenance leader who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments, the Central North Correctional Centre offers a unique opportunity to make a visible impact every day. As Maintenance Manager, you will lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of facility maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, renovation projects, and electronic security systems within a dynamic 24/7 operation. This is far more than a traditional maintenance role.

You will oversee multiple priorities simultaneously, manage contractors and service providers, direct preventative maintenance programs, and ensure critical facility systems remain safe, compliant, and operational. Your ability to lead teams, make sound operational decisions, and manage competing demands will be essential to success.

This role is ideal for an experienced maintenance management professional from a large-scale manufacturing, production, industrial, logistics, institutional, or facilities environment who is looking for a challenging and rewarding leadership opportunity. Leading a dedicated team in a highly regulated setting, you will be responsible for staff development, budget oversight, project coordination, contractor management, and emergency response leadership. While technical knowledge of building systems and maintenance operations is important, strong management experience, leadership capability, and the ability to navigate a constantly evolving environment are what will set top candidates apart.

Join a team where no two days are the same and where your leadership directly supports the safe and effective operation of one of Ontario's most complex correctional facilities.

Operational Requirement:
The successful candidate must be available to provide after-hours phone support and attend the facility when required to address emergencies or critical operational issues. Regular weekend work is not typically required.

Leadership That Makes a Difference

At its core, leadership in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is about creating positive change for people and communities across Ontario. We're looking for leaders who are authentic, accountable, and courageous. People who bring others together, ask bold questions, and lead with purpose.

We believe great leadership starts with high standards and strong support. In the OPS, that means showing up with authenticity, acting with integrity, and having the courage to do what's right, even when it's hard.

As a leader, you'll shape a team culture that sparks innovation, supports collaboration, and champions inclusion. You'll help build a workplace that is diverse, anti-racist, and accessible, where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to thrive.

You won't be doing it alone. We invest in our leaders through mentorship, learning opportunities, and cross-ministry networks that help you grow your impact and connect with peers across the organization.

Leadership is about impact, and in this role, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful one. You will:

• Lead Maintenance & Facility Operations by planning, coordinating, and overseeing maintenance activities, building systems, electronic security infrastructure, waste management services, and facility improvements within a complex 24/7 environment.
• Manage Projects & Infrastructure Upgrades by overseeing renovation, construction, and capital improvement projects, ensuring work is completed safely, on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Supervise Staff & Contractors by providing leadership to maintenance employees, tradespeople, contractors, and service providers, while assigning work, monitoring performance, and fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture.
