JOB DESCRIPTION: Project Manager - Implementation, Supply Chain, Industry
 
If you enjoy seeing projects through from idea to real-world impact, this role gives you the ownership to make that happen. Some roles talk about transformation; this one delivers it.
 
As Project Implementation Manager, you will take ownership of end-to-end solution implementation for a range of on-site supply chain programmes. A core element of the role is the end-to-end ownership of vending and asset management solutions, including solution design, deployment, go-live, and ongoing post-implementation support.
 
Working closely with customers and internal teams, you'll ensure solutions are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high operational standard.
 
Your responsibilities will include:
· Leading the implementation of vending, VMI, DLF, Kanban and kitting solutions across customer sites
· Conducting on-site operational assessments to understand customer needs and define the right solution
· Managing implementation plans, time lines and project coordination across internal teams and stakeholders
· Overseeing installation, go-live and early-life support for deployed solutions
· Delivering training and structured hand overs to ensure customers adopt solutions successfully
· Ensuring all deployments meet health & safety, company and customer site standards
· Capturing implementation data and supporting handover to operational and account management teams
 
This role offers a strong mix of project delivery, customer engagement and operational problem solving
 
WHY THIS ROLE?
 
This is an opportunity to join a team delivering practical, measurable improvements in real operational environments.
 
You'll have the chance to:
· Lead high-impact implementations for major customers
· Work on varied projects across different industries
· See the direct operational results of the solutions you implement
· Build strong relationships with customers and internal teams
 
If you enjoy taking ownership, solving operational challenges and delivering real change on-site, this role offers a genuinely rewarding opportunity.
 
PERSON SPECIFICATION: Project Manager - Implementation, Supply Chain, Industry
 
We're looking for someone who combines project delivery capability with strong operational understanding and a focus on customer engagement.
 
You'll likely bring:
