Job Description

AXSIM is the world leader in high-fidelity Formula 1 simulation technology. We are commencing a major global



rollout for our primary customer, deploying complex, high-value simulator units into iconic, logistically challenging



venues worldwide.



We require a supremely capable Installation Manager to serve as the project owner and final point of



accountability for all global installations. This role demands mastery of international logistics, meticulous on-site



execution, and superior client management in high-pressure, high-stakes environments.



In addition, this role will serve as the after sales manager, fault finding both remote and onsite problems with



simulators and working closely with technical managers at various venues to ensure simulators are kept



operational, and the customer is happy.



This role will require extensive travel within UK and other countries including USA and RoW.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES



Own and manage the detailed, end-to-end global shipping process for simulator units from the factory


(UK) to international venues.


Directly manage relationships with freight forwarders and customs brokers, taking accountability for all


import/export documentation, customs duties, and compliance to minimize delays.


Develop, vet, and finalise site-specific logistical plans, including precise scheduling for offloading, vertical


transportation, and navigating complex access constraints.


Serve as the primary on-site project lead, managing all local subcontractors, labour teams, and client


representatives during the installation phase.


Develop and manage the detailed installation budget for each site.

Anticipate, document, and resolve complex venue-specific challenges with minimal supervision and


maximum speed.


Lead the final technical calibration, systems testing, and final customer sign off process.

Develop and implement stringent site-specific Health & Safety plans, strictly compliant with local


regulations.


Serve as the competent person for all lifting operations, working at height, and heavy equipment


movement.


Serve as the primary, high-level technical point of contact for the main customer for a defined transition


period post-handover.


Conduct first and second-line remote diagnostics and troubleshooting (mechanical, electrical, and systems


checks) on reported faults. The objective is to rapidly diagnose and resolve issues that stem from the



installation itself or are minor operational errors.


Ensure maximum client satisfaction and manage expectations regarding long-term service delivery,


safeguarding the AXSIM brand and securing the relationship for future deployments.


Understanding (with support) Visa requirements across the world.
