Are you someone who thrives on helping people, solving problems, and keeping things moving behind the scenes? Do you enjoy being at the centre of the action, where customers, systems, and operational teams intersect?
About the Role
You will be the link between customers, field teams, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure every enquiry, request, and issue is handled seamlessly from start to finish.

- Creating, coordinating, and tracking service requests, ensuring work is assigned and completed efficiently
- Managing fault calls, new connections, disconnections, and customer service requests end-to-end
- Maintaining accurate customer, asset, and job data across multiple systems
- Managing back-office processes including pricing updates, registry coordination, and case management
