Job Description

Headset on, systems open: this telecoms support centre in Kariega 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.

The site is in Kariega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Process address changes, refunds and cancellations on the billing system.
  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.
  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.
  • Meet daily targets for average handle time, quality score and first-call resolution.

What you need

  • No criminal record, as most clients run a background check
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Matric with a pass in English

Extra points for

  • Previous contact centre or retail customer service experience
  • A Customer Service NQF Level 2 or 4 learnership certificate

  • Company transport home after night shifts
  • Clear promotion path to team leader or quality assessor
  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live
