Overview
We are looking for a motivated and adaptable individual to join our team across two sister companies, IT And General (ITG) and XCommNet (XCN). This is a hands-on role combining e-commerce operations, technical support, field engineering, and business development within a small business environment where initiative, reliability, and quick thinking matter.
Working style
This role is NOT a narrowly defined desk job. It suits someone who is dependable, adaptable, and comfortable switching between office work, customer support, site visits, and commercial activity while helping two small, growing businesses operate effectively.
