ABM Industries has been in the business of keeping facilities running since 1909, when its founder invested $4.50 in a bucket, sponge, and mop on San Francisco's Fillmore Street. More than a century later, the company has grown into one of the world's largest providers of integrated facility, engineering, and infrastructure solutions, with over 100,000 specialists managing roughly six billion square feet of space every day.
The scope of work spans a wide range of disciplines and sectors. ABM serves clients across 19 industries - including airports, healthcare facilities, data centers, semiconductor fabs, universities, and commercial real estate - and counts more than half of the Fortune 500 among its clients. Services range from cleaning, maintenance, landscaping, and parking to HVAC and mechanical systems, electrification, mission critical services, and eMobility solutions.
Beyond traditional facility management, ABM has developed specialized offerings including Performance Solutions, sustainability initiatives, and ABM Connect, a data intelligence platform designed to give clients greater visibility and control over their operations. The company positions these tools as a way to convert facilities from passive cost centers into assets that actively support business performance and occupant well-being.
With operations at this scale, ABM employs large numbers of skilled tradespeople, engineers, technicians, and operations professionals across a broad geography. The diversity of its service lines means that roles span everything from hands-on field work to complex infrastructure engineering and data-driven facilities management.
