Role Overview
The Director, Field Operations Control Centre & Dealer Partnership is a critical leadership role within the National Field Operations organization, accountable for two integrated pillars: centralized workforce planning, dispatch execution, and in-day operational management across all field technician activities; and building and leading a best-in-class vendor (dealer) management capability that drives performance, cost efficiency, compliance, and scalability across a national network of installation and service partners.
