Job Description

Headset on, systems open: this telecoms support centre in Johannesburg CBD needs agents who stay patient on the hundredth call. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Home base is a telecoms support centre on the Johannesburg CBD side of Gauteng.

What your day looks like

  • Process address changes, refunds and cancellations on the billing system.
  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Attend team huddles and weekly coaching sessions on call recordings.
  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.
  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.

What you need

  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • No criminal record, as most clients run a background check
  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns

Helpful, not essential

  • Technical know-how on Wi-Fi, fibre or smartphones
  • Previous contact centre or retail customer service experience

What you get

  • Monthly performance bonus linked to quality and attendance
  • Medical aid option after probation
  • Clear promotion path to team leader or quality assessor
  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live

  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.
