Join a team that's All Kinds of Useful

At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline - it’s how we approach work every day. As a collective, we’re a team that thrives on finding better ways, working together, and owning our impact. From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About the role:

Working in Internet, you’ll be at the heart of everything we do — working with customers. Reporting to a Customer Operations Leader, you’ll be delivering end-to-end customer service, supporting our residential customers via phone and email across our Internet portfolio.

Gone are the days of customers getting stuck in a never-ending loop of being transferred between departments — you’ll be fully trained in every aspect of the customer experience and able to help with any problem.

This role works on a rotating roster between 8am–11pm Monday–Sunday. You must be available to work across these hours. Initial 8-week training commencing 12th Jan, (hours of 8am-7pm), held in our CBD office.

Why this role matters:

• You’ll be the main point of contact for our customers, helping keep them impressed and excited about Origin Energy being their Internet provider.
• You’ll support customers who may be vulnerable — recognising when additional help is needed, listening with empathy, and providing clear, compassionate guidance to ensure they feel safe, heard and supported.
• You’ll work across the full range of customer service needs including service activation, retention, sales, tech support, billing & payments, complaints, and customer education regarding Origin products.
• You’ll play a pivotal role in helping Internet achieve its growth targets.
• You’ll contribute to Origin’s aspiration of becoming Australia’s most loved Energy/Telco retailer.
  
  

What will you bring?

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a demonstrated ability to talk to customers across multiple platforms including email, social and other platforms.
• Ability to interpret information and data to understand customer queries and solve problems.
• Quick learner with the ability to adapt to new tools and technologies.
• A strong work ethic — Internet Operations is very fast-paced and can be challenging. We’re looking for people who can deal with challenging situations and who take ownership of their future by working hard to achieve their goals.
• While not essential, Telco experience is highly desirable.
