Essential Characteristics and Competencies

Supervisory Responsibilities

None

Required Education (certifications, licenses)

• High school diploma

Required knowledge, skill and abilities

• Now that you know us a little better, you can see we do things differently. To us, customer service is much more than saying “I’m sorry” and “I understand.” It’s about owning the conversation and getting each and every customer what they need.
• Simply put, it’s challenging work. Our expectations around the quality of our customer service are among the highest in the industry. When calls spike in the fall and the winter, it gets a little crazy. And, when people reach out to us, they’re not always at their best, and that can be emotionally draining.
• Our reward is in how we show people that Spire is there for them and their community. Not every conversation will end on a high note, but our customers should hang up the phone feeling that Spire treated them with care and respect.
• That’s why we don’t put up a wall between ourselves and our customers. You won’t find scripts or canned phrases like “Thank you for your business” here. As the voice of our company, we use our individual strengths to open up to people, get to the root of their problem, and resolve it. We rely on our teams to speak up about issues that might be causing customers problems so we can improve our service.
• People who fully embrace what we do and how we do it have the opportunity to pursue long and enriching careers at Spire.

Physical demands, environment and schedule

• Work is normally performed in a shared office environment, typically, 8 hours a day, Monday through Friday, though occasional after-hours work may be needed
