Nature and Scope

The Connections Coordinator role within the Connection Services department is without question one of the most crucial and rewarding roles within the business due to its direct influence and effect to the UK Power Networks BMoCS performance.

The nature of the business is such that the vast majority (at least 70%) of customers are one-off transactional customers; there is therefore only one chance to create a positive and lasting impression of the business. This requires customer-facing staff of the highest calibre that have been trained in and can explain technical and practical aspects in a way that can be understood by customers.

Health & Safety Responsibilities

Managers and supervisors carry both legal and company responsibilities for ensuring the health and safety of their employees, those under their control and those who might be affected by the work undertaken, i.e. public, visitors and employees of other organisations. This includes briefing individuals working for them and ensuring there is the necessary understanding, competence and application of requirements to work safely and without harming the environment.

Employees will ensure they understand the health and safety risks involved in their work activities and their responsibility to apply the controls needed to manage those risks to acceptable levels. Similarly where work activities can have an adverse impact upon the environment, and where there are legal requirements, employees will understand those impacts and the controls they must ensure are applied.

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
