About the role
This interview tests how you support electricity, water or other utility customers when they have billing, meter, outage or service problems. The panel is looking for calm communication, accurate case records and sensible escalation. You should be able to help without guessing at technical causes or promising a restoration time you cannot confirm.
How to prepare
- Practise explaining a bill, meter reading and service request in simple language.
- Prepare an example of calming an upset customer while still gathering the facts you needed.
- Review how to record contact details, account facts, actions taken and the promised next step accurately.
- Think through which reports need urgent escalation, especially electrical hazards, leaks and risks to the public.
- Practise separating what you know from what a technical team must investigate.
Common mistakes
- Arguing with a customer before checking the account and understanding the complaint.
- Promising a repair, reconnection or restoration time that has not been confirmed.
- Failing to treat a public safety report as urgent.
- Writing incomplete case notes or repeating sensitive customer details unnecessarily.
