Operations Coordinator

Overview

Permanent Role — Remote-first (UK);
Bristol HQ planned later this year.

This is a high-trust, high-responsibility role at the core of a fast-scaling business. MJP Electrical is building more than an electrical services company — we are building a platform, partner network, and operational engine with national ambitions. That requires exceptional standards, clean systems, and people who take ownership without being asked. This role is designed for someone who wants responsibility early
, not comfort. The position is a permanent employed role for the right person. You will work closely with leadership and will be trusted with real operational control. Your decisions will directly affect customer experience, cashflow, and team performance. If you thrive on order, accountability, and building something properly — you will excel here.

You are the operational control centre
. Your responsibility is to ensure the business runs cleanly, predictably, and professionally — even as volume increases.
