Switchboard Operator Jobs in Durham, NC

A Switchboard Operator plays a vital role in facilitating effective communication within an organization.

Prior to becoming a Switchboard Operator, one could hold roles such as Receptionist, Customer Service Representative, or Office Assistant which would provide relevant experience in handling calls and performing administrative tasks.
