An equipment manager is the person in charge of equipment used by a business or organization. Their duties include purchasing, maintenance, repair, inventory, transportation, storage, cleaning, and liquidation of equipment. They are responsible for providing the proper equipment for the job, either on-site or off-site. In sports, an equipment manager is a person who is in charge of a sports team's equipment. In professional and collegiate sports, this is usually a full-time job, and includes transportation, laundry, repairs, proper safety fittings, and regular service for the team members (such as sharpening of skates for ice hockey).
