We are looking for a detail-oriented and reliable Meter Inspector to join our team. The Meter Inspector will be responsible for inspecting, testing, and verifying the accuracy and functionality of utility meters, including water, gas, and electric meters. This role ensures that meters are operating correctly and comply with regulatory standards and company policies. The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to work independently in the field.
As a Meter Inspector, you will conduct routine inspections and respond to service requests to investigate meter issues. You will document findings, perform minor repairs or adjustments, and report any discrepancies or signs of tampering. You will also be responsible for maintaining accurate records of inspections and communicating effectively with customers and internal teams.
