Back Office Administrator

We’re looking for driven and proactive individuals to join our fast-moving and supportive Metering team. If you enjoy problem-solving, can work independently, and want to grow your career in a dynamic environment, this could be the perfect opportunity.

You’ll get great training opportunities, including courses with top business schools, and play a key role in ensuring accuracy and efficiency in metering operations. We’re looking for confident and experienced team players who can help us achieve key goals in a fast-changing industry.

Please note, this is an office-based role and not a Meter Reader position.

Perks you 'll enjoy

  • Competitive salary: £23,500 - £27,000 per year, depending on experience.
  • Company pension, life insurance and sick pay
  • Cycle-to-work scheme and on-site parking
  • Monday to Friday hybrid working schedule, so your weekends are all yours

What you 'll be doing

  • Ensure accurate data processing: Validate and review all received meter readings, monitor quality, and resolve any discrepancies
  • Resolve meter read issues: Identify and fix skipped readings to improve future accuracy
  • Deliver excellent customer service : Quickly understand customer needs and provide efficient, proactive support
  • Collaborate with colleagues: Contribute to team goals, share knowledge, and continuously improve processes
  • Take ownership of customer queries: Handle them efficiently, understand complex issues, and escalate when necessary
  • Support other business areas: Assist with queries and work cross-functionally when required
  • Drive process improvements: Identify opportunities for automation and efficiency gains
  • Solve problems proactively: Use initiative to address challenges and improve workflows
  • Analyse data effectively: Identify discrepancies, review key information, and ensure accuracy
  • Communicate clearly and confidently : Engage in both written and verbal interactions with customers and colleagues
  • Adapt to business needs: Take on additional responsibilities as required

What you 'll bring to the role

  • Experience in utilities, finance, or banking is a plus, but not essential - we’re open to all backgrounds.
  • Account reviews, reporting, or investigation experience would be beneficial
  • Ability to handle a fast-paced environment and work towards team goals
  • Strong literacy and numeracy skills with a customer-first mindset
  • Strong admin skills and comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning new systems
  • Highly organised, adaptable, and able to juggle tasks while working both independently and as part of a team
  • Great at negotiating and building relationships
  • Willing to take ownership of learning and development
  • A degree is a plus, but what matters most is attitude and skills
