About the Company:

Your experience of being a telephone-based Collections Agent has probably felt transactional to this point, it’s repetitive and the experience can be tough.

It’s different at Utility Collections, we are a fast-growing debt recovery scale-up.

We partner with energy suppliers and their customers become our clients. Those business energy consumers are usually facing pretty unique circumstances and you’ll need to take a consultative approach to work here.
