LET’S TELL YOU MORE
We have a brilliant opportunity to become a Customer Inspector!
As a Customer Inspector you will help to ensure customers safely receive a constant supply of good quality drinking water for the area you are accountable for by taking ownership of customer issues in your patch end-to-end from inspection to full closure of the job from a customer’s view.
Plus, you will also be working with the customer hub to ensure customers are kept informed E2E until resolution of their issue and to escalate complex or difficult customer issues to ensure the correct resolution for the customer.
Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:
- Undertake inspection activity for customer issues, such as customer side leakage, stop taps, water wasting, supply isolations and where possible resolve at point of contact
- Take personal ownership of customer issues and contribute to the improvement of the customer journey, ensuring that any customer promises we make are kept and take accountability to own and resolve customer complaints, including visiting customers
- Identify vulnerable customers or those who need additional support and proactively manage their issue to ensure we deliver to meet their needs
- Liaise with property owners/installers regarding any remedial work required following an inspection and ensuring these are completed in a timely manner and assist with network events when called upon
- Work to and improve safe systems of work and review working practices, methods, standards and procedures, promoting any improvements to team manager, Senior Distribution Service Technician or relevant team
- Deliver all activity in line with company policy and standards, including burst on private policy, GDPR (data protection) policy and Traffic Management standards and be a point of contact for customers throughout their end to end journey
- You’ll be working a 6-week working pattern which includes working 2 weekends.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
