Department Roles and Positions

Most workplaces in the industry are laundries or service centers that supply, launder and maintain linens, uniforms and other reusable textiles for all kinds of businesses. Such laundries handle millions of pounds of these products each year. These facilities operate more like manufacturing plants than laundromats. Products are delivered directly on trucks from laundries to customers’ business locations directly or to a service center where they are held and then delivered. The highest ranking position in a laundry is usually the General Manager (GM) or, in a service center, the Branch Manager. Whether you are hired to train for a management position or your background qualifies you to start immediately as a manager, you will likely be initially assigned to one of the following four departments.

  • Administration
  • Engineering/Maintenance
  • Production
  • Sales/Service
