DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
The Customer Service Supervisor is the full supervisory-level classification in the Utility Customer Service series and is responsible for overseeing the daily operations and activities of customer service staff. Incumbents exercise independent judgment in coordinating workflow, resolving escalated customer concerns, monitoring operational performance, and ensuring compliance with City policies and procedures.
This classification is distinguished from the Customer Service Representative in that the latter performs journey-level customer service and technical support duties without supervisory responsibility. It is further distinguished from the Customer Service Manager, who has overall managerial responsibility for customer service operations, budget administration, policy development, and division-wide program oversight.
