We are a highly automated, computer-centric small business. Our new Director of Operations will guide and manage our several operating departments, including those relating to our commercial background music and scenting services as well as our nationwide audio/video installation and break-fix services. The D.O. will use his/her experience and management skills to oversee departments preparing our customer premises equipment, our warehouse (shipping, receiving and inventory management) operations, our Help Desk, and our Field Service division, with its Project Managers, Dispatcher and Admins.
