We analyzed 100 job posts to find out what industrial companies want in a maintenance leader. The result is The Anatomy of the Modern Maintenance Leader, a new report that looks at what top leaders are doing in 2026. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside the report:
- 82% of job posts say that managing relationships with other departments was a requirement and 22% require communication with four or more departments.
- Maintenance leaders are being asked to balance short-term improvements (74% of posts) and long-term strategic planning (44%).
- 49% of maintenance leaders are expected to manage three or more digital systems and 28% are responsible for four or more systems.
