Job Description:

Are you customer-focused, adaptable, and highly accountable with exceptional multitasking and computer software skills? If so, we have a great opportunity for you! Idaho Power is currently seeking Customer Service Representatives at our Customer Service Center located in Boise, Idaho. As a member of our Customer Service Center, you will be offered a professional, fast-paced, upbeat, and friendly work environment where you are recognized for your hard work and effort. You will get extensive training and be offered development opportunities to learn, grow and advance within your role to build a long-term career within the Idaho Power family. As a preferred employer, Idaho Power offers an excellent work/life balance with a Monday through Friday (no weekends!) schedule that varies from 7:30am – 6:30pm. Idaho Power offers a robust total rewards package that includes medical, dental and vision insurance, a health savings account option, generous retirement, life insurance and much more!

The Customer Service Representatives specialize in providing positive customer experiences, work in a high-performance team environment, respond to numerous customer related phone calls in our Customer Service Center, and are responsible for a number of customer-focused tasks – many of which are confidential in nature. These responsibilities include responding to customer movement requests, setting up new customers and accounts, customer inquiries and requests for account information, making collection arrangements, responding to outages, determining the most effective resolution to customer issues, and maintaining customer accounts. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule (combination of remote and in-office days) when certain qualifications are met.

IMPORTANT DATES: We have an established schedule for interviews and training to ensure we can dedicate the necessary resources to this important process. Unfortunately, there is not flexibility, therefore we want applicants to be aware and understand the expectations when applying for the position.

As indicated above, these dates are mandatory and necessary for proper training and development. Because this training is critical to success in the position, we cannot consider candidates who are unavailable on these dates.
