Operations & Sales Manager (Entry Level)
About the Role
We’re a growing solar and electrical business based in Hamilton & Cambridge, focused on quality installations, good people, and doing things properly.
As we move into 2026, we’re looking for an entry-level Operations & Sales Manager who we can train from the ground up and integrate fully into the business.
Rather than hiring an experienced manager with fixed ways of working, we’re intentionally looking for the right person — organised, people-focused, and tech-savvy — who wants to learn how the business actually runs and grow into a senior operational role over time.
You’ll be the main point of contact for customers, helping manage enquiries, quotes, scheduling, and day-to-day coordination between customers and install teams.
The long-term goal of this role is simple: to take the operational load off the business owner.
Key Responsibilities- Answer and manage incoming customer enquiries
- Prepare and follow up quotes (training provided)
- Book site visits and schedule installation work
- Coordinate installers, materials, and timelines
- Communicate clearly with customers and install teams
- Keep jobs organised and moving forward
- Support online presence and basic marketing activities
About You
We’re looking for someone with a good balance of people skills and tech skills.
You might be:
- AI-proficient or confident using modern digital tools
- Computer-literate and comfortable learning new systems
- Confident using websites, social media, and online platforms
- Friendly, personable, and professional on the phone
- Organised, reliable, and calm under pressure
- Willing to learn and grow into responsibility
- Experience in sales, admin, construction, trades, or operations is helpful but not required.
- Solar or electrical experience is not essential — attitude, trustworthiness, and the ability to learn matter more.
- Full training and hands-on support from day one
- A genuine pathway into a senior operations role
- A supportive, no-corporate-nonsense work environment
- Real responsibility and trust as skills grow
- Competitive entry-level salary with progression over time
