Incumbents must be able to type a minimum of 55 words per minute upon entry into the position.
This position requires the ability to independently address complex customer service needs.

Maintain harmonious customer interactions, including de‑escalating challenging calls or situations. Follow oral and written instructions; guide and assist other employees; evaluate and improve service delivery through enhancements to procedures, systems, and recordkeeping; and communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Work Environment: Work is performed in a standard office setting at a reception desk with comfortable and typical environmental conditions. The position often involves a high level of activity, competing priorities, and frequent interaction with dissatisfied or upset customers. May be required to work during inclement weather or emergency events. Because this role is responsible for answering the department’s main phone line, the incumbent must remain in the work area during designated coverage periods.

Multiple files are allowed, but all applicant attachments must be uploaded simultaneously, as there is no way to edit or append uploaded materials after submitting the application .
