We are looking for a detail-oriented and dependable Meter Reader to join our utility services team. The Meter Reader will be responsible for accurately reading utility meters, such as electric, gas, or water meters, and recording the data for billing purposes. This role requires working outdoors in various weather conditions, walking long distances, and interacting with customers in a professional manner. The ideal candidate will have strong attention to detail, good physical stamina, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
As a Meter Reader, you will be expected to follow assigned routes and schedules to ensure timely and accurate meter readings. You will also be responsible for identifying and reporting any irregularities or potential issues with meters, such as damage, tampering, or malfunction. In addition to meter reading, you may be required to perform basic maintenance tasks, such as cleaning meter covers or removing obstructions that prevent access to meters.
This position plays a vital role in ensuring accurate billing and maintaining customer satisfaction. Therefore, strong communication skills and a commitment to providing excellent service are essential. You must be comfortable using handheld devices or other digital tools to record and transmit data. Training will be provided, but previous experience in a similar role or in a field-based position is a plus.
