About The Role
Join our Metering Operations team and play a key role in delivering exceptional service that puts our customers at the heart of everything we do. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking, high-performing team that is driving improvements and shaping the future of metering across the organisation.

You will also support a range of administrative activities relating to meter reading, billing, metering optants, non-household (NHH) processes, and general maintenance.
You will be responsible for managing smart metering queries, including supporting customers transitioning from unmeasured to measured tariffs, handling billing queries, and making outbound contact regarding customer-side leakage.
Your excellent customer service skills, underpinned by our core principles, will help ensure that we consistently deliver a world-class service, reflected in our customer satisfaction (CSAT) and C-MeX performance.

You approach challenges with a solution-focused mindset and are able to handle sensitive situations with discretion and care. As a team player, you build strong working relationships and are always willing to support others to achieve shared goals. Flexibility and a proactive approach are key, as you will support different areas of the business when required.
