Nature And Scope

You will work well with other team members and the wider business to deliver the additional MPAN service ensuring end-to-end customer management with high levels of quality and customer service.

You will, after training, understand the different types of situations where customers may require an MPAN and will apply our policies to determine if the customer is referred for works, further investigation or if an MPAN can be raised. You will uphold our values of Safety while delivering excellent Customer Service.

You will work within a regulated industry and so will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the legal, regulatory, and commercial drivers that may affect MPAN requests and UK Power Networks obligations to the customer and the industry.

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.
