A market leader in advanced industrial laundry systems is seeking a technically strong and highly organised Project Manager to lead major equipment installations across the UK and Ireland. Operating as part of a respected international group, the UK operation is based in Banbury and plays a central role in delivering large-scale bespoke projects.

This is a senior level role offering real autonomy and influence. You'll manage the complete lifecycle of complex, high-value projects - from post-sale design through to on-site installation, commissioning, and handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver capital equipment projects from order to completion - design, procurement, build, installation, and customer handover
• Coordinate multi-disciplinary project teams, ensuring key milestones, safety, cost, and timing targets are met
• Lead customer and internal meetings, manage documentation, action plans, and communications
• Oversee Health & Safety planning, risk assessments, and method statements for installations
• Manage the on-site phase of projects, working closely with installation teams and ensuring issues are resolved efficiently
• Control project scope, costs, and variations, while maintaining a high standard of customer satisfaction
• Provide professional, confident support to customers throughout the project lifecycle

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience managing complex industrial installations (laundry sector experience ideal but not essential)
• Strong project management capability, ideally supported by a formal qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM, PMP)
• Engineering background – preferably mechanical, structural, or systems engineering
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to liaise with internal teams, contractors, and customers
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
• A willingness to travel extensively across the UK (up to 70%)
• Knowledge of design processes, H&S regulations, and commercial project delivery

Why Join?

You’ll be part of a globally recognised organisation that leads its field in innovation, quality, and customer service. In return for your expertise and commitment, you'll gain significant autonomy, the opportunity to work on high-profile, technically challenging projects, and long-term career potential within a supportive, professional team.
