Job description
Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.
Octopus Energy is a tech-led energy business, bringing fairer, greener energy to everyone, and leading the transition to a future powered by renewable sources rather than dirty power. Our tech platform Kraken, and the power of the smart meter, lead the way to a renewable energy future by taking the peak-time strain off the National Grid and enabling a unique consumer-led opportunity to transition to a flexible smart grid. Or in other words, our tech works with smart meters to offer customers cheaper, greener power, when the wind blows and the sun shines, right now.
Our smart meter programme is the hardware backbone of that innovation. We're building a field force of engineers and support staff to install Smart Meters as well as Green Energy Products such as EV Charging Points, Air Source Heat Pumps and Solar Panels. We pride ourselves on delivering on the doorstep, the same outrageous customer service that has seen Octopus Energy achieve 5-star Trust Pilot ratings (with over 25,000 reviews) and the only energy company to be recommended by Which? six years in a row
We're looking for awesome people to join us as Customer Support Specialists - this is a broad role, involving a spectrum of responsibilities. You will use your customer service experience to be the primary contact of our field team and all customers, assisting with any query regarding the installation of our low carbon tech.
The Role

- You will get under the skin of what it means to operate an energy company end-to-end and gain an in-depth understanding of a dynamic industry
- You will be comfortable taking payments from customers and using your knowledge to progress leads, highlighting the benefits of purchasing through the Octopus Energy Group
What you'll need
- Successful candidates will be outgoing and have a passion for building strong relationships with customers
- You’ll have a strong understanding of how to provide a great customer experience through both written and verbal communication methods
- You’ll be a passionate team player who wants to work in a collaborative team environment.
- You’ll have a desire to learn and understand technical aspects of installations, products and Tariffs

- Shifts are 8 hours between 8am - 10pm weekdays, on a rota basis. Weekend shifts occur every 6 weeks, for which you’ll get a weekday off in lieu

If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.
Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements.

Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success.
