We've been trading for over a decade and serve more than 3,500 customers across Wales and the South West, delivering fibre and wireless broadband, leased lines, CCTV, VoIP, IT support and IoT solutions. Our clients range from holiday parks and rural businesses to public sector organisations including the Welsh Government, Local Authorities and Transport for Wales.

We're have an experienced team of 11. The business is profitable and growing, and owing to an internal promotion, we're looking for an experienced Operations Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day operations.

Reporting to the Company Director and Director of Sales, you'll run the day-to-day operations of the business — keeping the team, the schedule and the projects moving, and making sure our processes work as they should. You'll be the person the team comes to for decisions, and the point of ownership when something needs to get done.

• Line-manage a team of around 11 across office, field engineering and support
• Plan and coordinate the weekly schedule, balancing capacity, deadlines and travel
• Manage day-to-day HR — onboarding, contracts, holiday and absence, 1-to-1s and performance
